[It's going to be a little of that.]

Let's just say you're not the only one who is interested in seeing the Colony reap what they've sowed. And when that time comes, it would be nice to have the Bennett line on our side.

But I can't promise that it won't get messy.

You're working against your own coven?

( She lowers her voice, even though Elijah probably can them. (He can.) )

[maleficum]

Don't look so surprised. Not all of us are happy little families.

[His certainly isn't and it's got his actual family in it.]

The Colony has done a lot of harm to a lot of people for way too long. And no one's keeping them in check. So if I have to do it myself, then so be it. The coven is supposed to be mine one day, should I live that long, and I intend to take it in a different direction.

[If not disband it entirely.]

But in order to do that, I have to get rid of the old guard.

[moralitypolice]

Says the husband.

( But, no. She knows. She doesn't have a happy family, either. Her one chance had his heart ripped out. Ask her about it. )

While I won't blindly declare my loyalty, I think we should talk again. Is Bela in any real danger?

[maleficum]

The husband's on my team.

[But that being said:]

Not with Elijah in her corner.

[It's good to have an unkillable thousand year-old Original in her corner.]

We'll work out whatever the coven wants before I leave and they'll leave her alone until another hand of glory or cursed object that they want appears.

[moralitypolice]

Well. Considering, I wasted my time, would you join us. Seeing as you have business with her.

( She wants to be there just in case. )

[maleficum]

[She raises an eyebrow before glancing over to Bela. Bela shrugs in return, because it's his business that would be aired out in front of her. Pressing his lips together, he nods.]

Sure. Why not?
