Not quite. People assume I'm lying so I don't bother sharing it with strangers. But seeing as we're acquaintances now.
I'm four years younger than what you've got listed for your age. People see my face and then the age '25' and assume I'm flat out lying and don't feel like wasting a conversation on me.
Something interesting... [ mock thinky thought here. he's a got a million 'something interesting's for you kid. ] I'm quite the philanthropist in New Orleans.
It is. You could say my family had a hand in making what it is today.
[ and money is the least of his power js ]
Is it dangerous? I suppose that would depend on my audience's beliefs and motives. [ no elliot pls tell klaus why anything's dangerous to an original, HE WOULD LOVE TO KNOW ]
For all you know I could be some mastermind thief intent on stealing everything from you and disappearing into the night where not even you could track me.
Take this as you will but: would you like to grab a bite to eat sometime? [ WHY YES HE IS MAKING VAMPIRE JOKES FIGHT HIM. ] Doesn't have to be anything more than a friendly outing.
[ wow klaus is laughing a bit to himself at the first part of this message
and then feeling a little suspicious at the second. i mean he saw the 'i see dead people' and has been in this place long enough to know it could be literal... ] How flattering. I'll have to disabuse you of the notion; you're not my type. But I would like to know: Why me?
[ klaus will just be reading this message in his usual high and mighty manner of one part condescension and one part amusement. and ah, yes. there it is, at the end: the reason the boy thinks they could be brilliant friends. ] Pray tell then. [ he could use another joke. ]

Elliot has never sold snake oil but I think he'd be good at it
Ag, don't put your judgy walls up, mate. It's more dangerous for me anyway.
I can't imagine drinking blood from a blood bag is all that satisfying. Probably like eating cold pizza, right? I - amazingly - have all these lovely veins full of fresh warm blood that I would gladly share with you whenever you wanted under two very simple conditions.
1. No killing me. 2. You have to share one thing with me.
I understand exactly how bloody awful it is to be starving and be forced to eat cold pizza. Now, am I wasting my time or should I continue explaining?
[ so far this is quite a sell -- and clearly a practiced one, klaus would bet. he'll be patient before they get to the bottomline, if only for his curiosity. why stop the man when he's intent on spilling all? ] Continue.
[ Let him just thank everyone who's gotten him this far in life. So far the vampires he's met have been flighty as hell. He could shed a tear for Klaus Mikaelson. ]
You and I are somewhat similar, bru. You feed on blood whereas I feed on a certain kind of energy. Usually, this isn't a problem, I can just nick a ghost and eat it. This place is all for being politically correct which means no ghost eating. The energy I feed on is death energy, the core energy that makes up anything undead.
Now, I know what you're thinking: piss off. Hear me out. Unlike ghosts, vampires regenerate - it's how you heal. The concept is similar to how humans produce more blood to make up for what is lost, you lot do the same with your death energy.
I propose a tit for tat deal. Neither of us would have to settle for the alternative and we're both too invested in our goals here to harm the other.
Which brings me to the risks. The risks are similar to what I'd face with you taking too much blood. I could hurt or kill you. But I won't because I've done this before and I'm in this city for a reason, not to get kicked out.
[ for all this young man's clear desperation (for sustenance or power, whichever it is) he's right: klaus' thought was to tell him to "piss off." what could this person do, with all that power, on the off chance he could handle it? power, klaus would guess, unlike any he's had in comparison to other vampires or stray ghosts? perhaps he couldn't kill klaus -- but perhaps he could drain him to the point of stasis. he doesn't want to entertain the notion of anyone knowing so intimately the strength and invulnerability he carries, and tapping into it.
but he does have a few more questions. ] Why are you in this city?
Well Klaus elliot is a family man how much can you really dislike him
[ The question has him itching to tell Klaus to fuck off. ]
My brother. They promised to bring him back. A city that grants wishes sounds far-fetched but if there's even a chance they're telling the truth, I have to take it. If I find they're preying on our desperation they'll regret it more than I will.
What am I? A necromantic witch. I've heard the phrase "soul-eater" but I'm not sure how accurate that is.
When I go without it for a while I feel it similarly to a hunger, I assume something like you feel when you need blood. It's not hunger but it's the closest feeling I can relate it to. I use it for my magic - I add it to my well of magic.
[ gross, a witch. wow how unfortunate and potentially meddlesome that is, is basically klaus' thoughts. then again... if this young man doesn't know kol or davina...
he could have value. ] I've known a witch or two, though none that need to channel power in such a particular fashion.
[ Oh, he's met your nasty little brother, and he's not a fan. He's also been trying to meddle with his happiness with his girlfriend, so you know. Bird of a feather. ]
There are different types of witches. I'm the type that appreciates the undead and death energy.
[ he's often not a fan of kol's antics either and he certainly has issue with davina -- though at the end of the day... blood is blood. and that would be precisely why he befriends a witch. ] Much like the undead appreciate the living, it seems. [ for lunch ]

Honestly? Alright, you caught me. I'm a master thief intent on stealing everything you own and that was my attempt at first contact.
No, I'm joking, that was a joke. Actually well. I think you and I could make a deal that could benefit one another.
