Life in London

"You'll get him killed,:Kol said, then shrugged carelessly.
?
"Not that I care. I never do."
?
He didn't see what she expected to change when it came to Klaus. Her boy toy would die...again, and she and Klaus would have an understandable issue, and he would dagger her likely as not.
?
"Unless you kill him first of course," he added with a chuckle, knowing that would never happen.
?
"Oh not you," he said to Ben's look of alarm. "I meant our brother, no one's going to kill you. At least no one here," he added as an after thought.
?
He was too honest for his own good but it delighted him to be so and he had to find his family amusements where he could else it all got too depressing, the ways of their dysfunctional family.
?
"You run and it lasts a while but then it ends when he finds you and it's all the worse for the time you had," he told his sister.
?
?
He was impressed that Ben had remained as calm and still as he had. In a way he was almost beginning to see what his sister found interesting in the bloke.
?
"What if your brother finds a person useful, Do they have a chance then," he asked, gaze going back and forth between the two siblings. His eyes were almost steady. Had they been completely so Kol would've believed him mad or stupid.

Rebekah did so hate his being right about the chain of events once their brother learned about Ben. It was always the same story whenever she developed an interest in someone because Klaus either thought they weren’t ‘good enough’ or was afraid if he allowed them to be together he would lose her. “Kill Nik?” She looked at him in surprise.?

?

It was something she’d considered on more than one occasion through the centuries but at the end of the day he was still her brother. Their relationship was a complicated one given she both loved and hated him in equal measure. “Don’t you ever get tired of not being able to build a life with someone?” She honestly did not expect an answer from Kol.?

?

She at times found herself wondering what it was that altered their brother’s views on love. Had it been Tatia’s death or Aurora’s rejection of him? If she thought for one moment that Niklaus would have an honest conversation without deflecting she’d ask about it but he’d become so paranoid and obsessed with power that she very much doubted that he would.

?

Her gaze shifted to Ben once more as he posed a question about their brother. She thought about it a moment before responding. “I suppose it’s possible Nik would spare someone he found useful but...there’s no guarantee.” She didn’t want? to be the one who got Ben killed and knew if she stayed in his life that would be precisely what happened.?

"Do you really think our brother would mind if I found a girl," Kol asked with an arch of one brow.
?
"It's his baby sister he is so keen to protect."
?
?
?
?
"We're sitting here discussing my potential death," Ben said, wishing the idea weren't half funny.
?
"I think you're the first we've ever done that with," Kol said thoughtfully, grinning back.
?
"Your brother sounds...unbalanced to say the least. A definite danger to everyone so why not dagger him," Ben asked.
?
"Could be a compromise to killing him," he added, understanding Rebecca's reluctance to kill her own brother as well as the conflict.
?
Considering what he'd just learned neither were inexcusable. The dagger concept was still new to him so he wasn't sure if he had it right.

“Have you forgotten the times he has interfered with Elijah’s relationships?” Rebekah didn’t dispute the fact their brother seemed far more determined to as Kol had put it ‘protect his baby sister’ but his interference was hardly limited to her love life alone. She sent a sympathetic looks towards Ben who truly seemed the decent sort and all she could hope was that Niklaus wasn’t inclined to offer him an early death for his interest in her.

?

“Nik...he can quite seriously come across as being...unbalanced and to some extent he might well be. But he wasn’t always like this.” If only their mother hadn’t bloody killed the woman he loved centuries ago when she bound his werewolf side things might be different. “Sadly the bloody daggers don’t work on Nik.”

?

She wanted to warn him of the dangers of plotting against their brother as it rarely (if ever) turned out well for those who dared to do so. Looking to Kol, who she knew understood that all too well.
 

?
"So...what are you saying,"Ben asked.
"What am I up against? Am I a dead man because I know about you? If I just go home, am I safe?"
Kol continued to grin in amusement, watching Rebecca as if being entertained by one of the works of Shakespeare, seated in a box, enjoying the show along with a hall of others.
To this Ben's credit, he remained calm. Kol couldn't help but be impressed. He was impressive or stupid, because it could also be stupid to be so calm, but the questions being asked weren't stupid, so he opted for being impressed.
?
"I vote for you to live if that matters," he said with an ironic twist to his lips.
"Of course how I feel never matters, so there's that."
Ben almost cringed, but managed not to, though his eyes did dart from Kol back to Rebecca.
?
"Thanks," he told Kol just as dryly and Kol inclined his head elegantly.
