Elijah crossed his arms above his chest. He didn't know what to think of the budding romance between the witch and his brother. Niklaus had loved before and all of these relationships always ended with death, heartbreak, or separation. Niklaus went on a rampage because of some of these relationships and Elijah was worried about this pairing. Nëela had a temper of her own and the Original had been at the receiving end of her anger. He knew her words could cut deep and with how unstable his brother was, there was a chance that Niklaus would lash out in unprecedented ways. Elijah was concerned but he felt that there was nothing he could say at the moment that could make the situation better. Klaus made it quite known that he would not leave Nëela at the mercy of his brother. She was /his/ and while Elijah perceived some malice in the tone set by Klaus, he could also see that his brother actually cared for the Witch. It wasn't just some petty issues He acknowledged that he treated Nëela badly, as if she was an afterthought and his carelessness was the reason she pushed back against him.
He still remembered their reunion at Mystic Falls. He still remembered how angry Nëela was, the high-pitched tone of her voice, the burst of power around him, the tears he noticed but never commented on. She was stressed out when they met and so upset by his sight but he was oblivious to her plight. As he was staring at the window Elijah sighed deeply. His little brother confronted him about Nëela a couple of hours ago and it all became clear in his eyes. Nëela had been alone most of her life. She needed company. She needed someone to know her, to care for her, to see her as someone and not just an asset. Elijah never cared for this. He never cared for her well-being and he thought that it could last for as long as he wanted. She proved him wrong and he realized that he should have treated her better. He failed his witch and by doing so, he fumbled his partnership with her and realized that it would take some time to rekindle his connection with her. She's allied herself with his sibling and she was out of his control. The best course of action would be to keep an eye on Klaus at a distance but leave them be. But could he?
