There were parts of what Cain said that were true. Klaus wasn't going to change just because Elijah spoke with him, although there was a chance that if Elijah spoke somewhat, but not completely truthfully about how he felt about the immortal, Klaus might be willing to offer him more often into Elijah's care than not, especially if it would take the original's mind from Hayley, and the political air that was brewing. There were always negotiations that could be made with his brother, and Elijah was excellent at making them.
Elijah smiled with a mischievous grin. "No, he won't, but I have things that I can bargain with and I might be able to work a deal that will benefit you. He knows that your blood is sweet, but there are other things in life that he considers sweet as well." Elijah bowed slightly. It would allow Cain freedom, and yet still offer the immortal companionship as he sought it.
Elijah would have to be lying if he hadn't thought about Cain being in his rooms and their night together, but he'd also thought to be somewhere else, to give the man some privacy. It would be difficult, but he didn't want to think that on this day, the day he'd worked so hard to come back from the dead that the original would take such advantage of him.
"Don't worry about the mess. I pay a cleaner or two and they will clean it. You don't have to clean anything up but yourself, and this is far from my pity. I was merely thinking that it might be nice for you to stay away from Klaus who lives on the other side of the compound, and maybe you wanted some comfort for the night. I don't even have to be there. Not if you didn't want me around." Elijah had no idea what to do about what he'd said, and he didn't want Cain to think too much over his confession-- how embarrassing it was now that he knew Cain wasn't leaving or dying. What a fool he was.
