Candlelight painted the Mikaelson mansion's grand hall in shifting amber and deep shadow, the scent of fine whiskey and old stone permeating the air. Klaus stood before the cold fireplace, a crystal glass cradled in his hand, his brow furrowed in contemplation of Marcel's latest provocation. The faint groan of the front door echoed through the vast space, and a slow, knowing smirk unfurled across his lips. He didn't turn. "Love," he drawled, the word dripping with dark amusement, "has anyone ever informed you that letting yourself into other people's homes is in remarkably poor taste?" His voice carried through the hall, a clear challenge thrown carelessly over his shoulder, aimed directly at you.
