( none of this is fair, but the world (any world, apparently) is unfair. klaus has long ago determined to meet it on its terms. this is his way — the only way — he can contrive to do so. to honor her.
he nods, silently, at nate's question regarding elijah. )
Hope was was running this place nearly single-handedly. ( how she accomplished it, he doesn't know. her co-owner is gone. her only full-time staff was pike, and while the man is still here, that's hardly enough. ) Stefan, Damon's brother, is here, and he's more than willing to step in to manage the place. I need hands, ideas, help. ( anything and everything, at the moment. ) To nurture this place and make sure it thrives in her image.
[ hope has mentioned the salvatores before. nate nods at once, not even needing time to think about it. he knows what hope would want, and that's more than enough to motivate him. ]
Well, then you'll have my hands, and my brain, and-- my magic, too. I can protect it, ward it, for a start. Keep going anything that Hope was maintaining.
Whatever I can do, to...to make this place still feel like her.
[ he takes a breath. he's never run a bar, and this one has two levels and was something of a haven. ]
