[But she has a feeling that this isn't something they discussed so much as happened, and now the layers of their proposal are getting more complicated.]
Well, whatever you need, if I'm able, I'll give it. And we can speak with Hope when we next see her.
Do you think she'll keep an open mind? Tearing her away from class under the guise of a family outing before we drop this on her?
( Kieran has been a better influence on Kol that he's actually thinking through this. What Hope has gone through has opened his mind to her plights and her struggles - and her "love life." )
Things go right enough, we could go into business, sister.
( It's a whimsical thought, and one that could turn things in a more optimistic direction. It could give him the direction he's been lacking since Davina and San Francisco fell apart. But for now, helping Kieran and reuniting with his family is enough. )
[Not if it means having Kol around more. She's sure there's moments where they'll want to tear each other's heads off, but that's part in parcel of being family. She'll take fighting with him over him being far away any day.]
( It's a beautiful bookend to their walk, a quick pivot to let Rebekah know he sees she's happy and that makes him happy. Her liking Doc means he likes Doc. He's not Klaus. )
It's rare to find a person who isn't one of us who understands what it means to just ... lose chunks of time and have to adjust to the world that's changed while you were left behind.

[Yes, Rebekah, because picking apart their magic is ideal light Christmas conversation.]

( It's a plea he can get behind, if there ever was one. )
An inspired idea, sister.

We deal with this as a family. We aren't the only vampires who used to be witches who could benefit from this.

( Did he hear that right? )

[It's so rare to find someone who can sympathize with that, that Rebekah seized on it, doing her best to listen well when she could.]
It also helped that we both wanted the same things. A family. A home.

Come now, let's finish our rounds. Maybe I can get a glimpse of my nephew before his nap.
