[Yep. Back to his girlfriend who totally wasn't listening to all of that (it's not her fault the Mikaelsons are loud by default). While Rebekah stays to bicker with Klaus about his tendency to try and control everything, Kieran scooches herself back to bed to give herself some plausible deniability.
Today is slightly better than yesterday. She'll take slightly better over worse.
She curls back up into the covers and waits for Kol to stick his head in.]
I was thinking about our options, and I quite though that astral projection would be under the fairest terms. It lacks the pressure of the in person reveal and gives her the space to make her own decision. How do you feel about that?
Without my family's magic, yes. Vampirism could send your disease into overdrive if it progresses too far. It helps cancer along, I assume it will only push your Huntington's.
( Which, yes, does put a big ticking clock. Or at least it points it out for them. )
[And she will talk to Rebekah, and one way or another, this will all work out. She just hopes they're able to figure this out sooner rather than later.]

You're awake.

Plus there was a very interesting conversation happening in the kitchen.
no subject
( That conversation, right? )
no subject
You know, for an older sister, she parties like the baby sister.
no subject
( But. )
You heard everything, did you?
no subject
[Meaning she didn't expect much of Klaus.]
At least now what we need is out there.
no subject
( Or as on the mend as she can be? )
no subject
[She's at the point where this comes in waves rather than a slow decline into uselessness. She'll take this over how things get towards the end.]
I can make time to talk with Rebekah if you figure out how to talk to Hope.
no subject
( What does she want? )
no subject
That's fair enough for the initial conversation. But if we move past that, I will need a blood sample.
[So that will have to be in person.]
no subject
( Logically. )
no subject
[But eventually is not now, and they have time to figure that out.]
no subject
( And once she gives her answer. )
no subject
I know we're on a clock here. Eventually we're going to hit a cut off point. I'm okay with putting a plan for that in place.
[A pause.]
I know I'm trying to have it all here, but ... alive with no magic is better than dead. I don't want to be dead.
no subject
( Or if Hope refuses. )
And we are running out of time. I can see that.
no subject
[She weighs her options.]
Is there a point of no return for what vampire blood can fix? Like if I start losing mobility, does that become the line where we can't wait anymore?
no subject
( Which, yes, does put a big ticking clock. Or at least it points it out for them. )
no subject
[She wants to still be able to use her body when the time comes. The ticking clock is ticking a little bit faster.]
Maybe we can find another witch with similar abilities to mine to finish the project if we run out of time.
no subject
( Yes, he's reminded he only has so much time. They both do. But he refuses to live by the clock. He will act and he will act soon. )
