I do have a bright one every so often.

[She smiles back at him.]

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

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. )

[likeaweapon]

I certainly wouldn't mind that.

[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.]

But let's focus on things going right first.

I like him, you know.

( 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. )

[likeaweapon]

I like him too.

[She smiles softly as she turns to face him.]

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.

[witchaffinity]

That is a unique perspective the two of you share. He went into his years at the bottom of a well?

( Did he hear that right? )

[likeaweapon]

Not at first, but ... as we were getting to know each other. I had to explain missing chunks of time in a coffin, after all.

[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.

[witchaffinity]

And now you have each other, your family, and your home. You have what you set out to do. I daresay you've made it, sister.

( And he is proud. )

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