Klaus nodded at her and ordered them both chicken parmigiana and a nice bottle of red wine to go along with it and sent the waiter off. When she asked about his day, he almost laughed. He didn’t. He had more class than that. Klaus looked at her and put his hand on the table, folded, as he spoke. “It was alright. I spent a lot of time restoring the damage that Kol inflicted on my house because he could.” he said, rolling his eyes. “He’s very…dramatic. If you think I am bad…” he said, shaking his head and chuckling. Nik thanked the waiter when he brought salad over and put a bowl of french onion soup in front of both of them. “I know it’s not italian, but oddly enough they have the best french onion soup at this place.” he said smiling at her. He picked up his wine glass and raised it up to her. “…a toast. To how lovely you look tonight.” 

Caroline laughed and nodded. “I didn’t get to meet Kol,” she told him. “I don’t doubt he’s as bad as you say.” The Original family all seemed to have a bit of a temper. Apart from Elijah. He was the exception to most of the Original’s ways. She held her glass up and touched it to Klaus’. She brought it to her lips and took a small sip before setting it down again. “Thanks,” she said. “You don’t look so bad yourself.” She grabbed her spoon and tasted the soup. “It is good,” she agreed. “Is there any specific reason you brought me out tonight?” she asked, twirling a lock of her hair absent-mindedly.
