He was getting a confession, Cain realized, and that Elijah thought he had no other chance to do it in the future. The idea was so incredulous and absurd that Cain for a moment didn't know how to react.
"Klaus didn't tell you?" he asked, his brain still fuzzy like it was behind a fog, one where he could barely see past the next street corner. It baffled him to think Elijah didn't know, until his mind caught up to the content of what Elijah was actually saying.
At that point it shocked him, and Cain tried to backtrack over what was said to him. Elijah, the elder Mikaelson... Liked him? He never even spoke to him, looked the other way even whenever Cain entered the room. The immortal thought the original was arrogant and looked down at the blood slave, believed their one brief afternoon together had been a mistake, like a stain of blood on his immaculate suits.
How did that turn into this?
"You're going to kill me," he muttered under his breath. Not that Elijah could, Klaus certainly had tried, but Cain could only imagine how the vampire would react if he discovered that the recipient to what Cain assumed was a secret confession, was neither a dead nor soon to be dead person.
"I've been stuck with your brat of a brother for 60 years, how old do you think I am?" Not a fair question perhaps, there was no way Elijah could get it right, but it might get him thinking. "I'm not going anywhere."
