Currently, heβs leaning against the doorframe that leads out to the balcony of his room.
A cup of coffee in one hand, taking slow sips from it. His gaze is scanning the horizon of the crescent city.
If you see him trudging towards the coffee machine, thatβs because he is.
Heβs finally returned from a much needed vacation. However, he arrived back much sooner than expected so heβs awake when he doesnβt want to be.
Another laugh would surpass his lips, shaking his head as he smiled.
βActually, though it was rough, I did love the fifties. Always have.β His shoulders lifted into a shrug, βBefore all the tragedy, of course.β
βWell, I hope you will now that you are apart of this family as well.β
He would offer a reassuring smile as he turned towards the band. A low hum surpassing his lips, carefully pondering her question. Heβd respond with a jest,
βOh, I really love the eighties.β
Elijah lifted his shoulders into another shrug, βI have no idea. It could be the fact that we built this city from the ground up.β The nobleman would lift his gaze to look at her.
A smile still present on his brims, βI know I shouldnβt, but itβs, unfortunately, part of my job.β
Elijah would clear his throat as he gazed upon the surface of the table. Gently knocking his knuckles against the wood, βSo...I do want to apologize.β Heβd begin an attempt at small talk, βFor Niklaus, though I try my best, he still seems to make enemies. Your child doesnβt +
Elijah would laugh, biting his lower lip to prevent his smile from growing any wide. He felt that if he kept going, it would start to ache.

Heβd place her jacket on the back of a chair and pull +
Elijah would nod as he made his way towards the bar. βYou know what, I think this place has a piano.β His free hand would reach out to open the door, holding it for her.
βPerhaps today is a lucky day after all.β His shoulders lifted into another shrug, βAfter you, Ms. Marshall.β
βWell I try not to be a show-off.β The noble would laugh as he spoke, βI have many skills, developed over time considering I can never die.β
His shoulders lifted again, βI picked up certain hobbies just to have something to do. The piano stuck because of Mikael.β
His head shook, βNo, not anything particularly interesting.β His shoulders lifted into another shrug. βI usually just sit around and have a drink or something.β
Elijah would sigh, βBut if I can, Iβd just play the piano all day. Itβs simple, but itβs what I love.β
βRosseauβs?β He arched a brow in thought, βI have heard of it. The music there is quite nice.β
If only he was exaggerating, but he wasnβt. βEspecially with good company.β
Elijahβs laughter grew as he shook his head again, βYou can keep trying, itβs very admirable, but that was not close.β
The noble Mikaelson continued to walk. His gaze falling upon the floor as he bit his lower lip, βI did mention it was over two thousand, not below.β
