( Klaus speaks as if he knows Elena can hear him. She's reminded of all the times he appeared charming. But, she knows he can turn on a dime. He speaks in his flowery prose, keeping Dany enthralled, she assumes. She agrees with some of what he says and even with the undercurrent of hostility Dany might not pick up on.

Maybe she isn't Klaus' enemy. Maybe Klaus isn't hers. The way he puts it so plainly, however, puts everything else into perspective. Mikael or not, they are not allies. Even in this, it's a means to an end. Klaus is her means and peace is his.

Elena hears the 'or else' loud and clear. She gets it. Klaus' price is Elena backing down. Not making Klaus a problem. But, Elena never planned on setting her sights on Klaus. She had other things to worry about.

Stefan.

His speech reminds her of other speeches he's made, and one Caroline had told her about once. Promising to show her New Orleans. Or Paris. And the darkest parts of herself. If she all ready had this bond with Klaus, Dany would be a handful. But, the minute Elena fed Dany her blood, she became her responsibility.

You get your peace.

( She says it knowing Klaus can hear her, and Dany can not. She sets her phone down beside her. )

But, I want her to stay here. At least, at first. Those are my terms, Klaus.
