It had only been a few memories and yet it felt like so much more had been given in that short time. Sure, it'd been a period of time, but that wasn't what took so much from the original. He could have shared his entire life with Cain if he'd wanted to and it wouldn't have taken that much longer. It was amazing the power that he held within his fingertips when it came to memories and wading through the stories of lives, importing and exporting dreams. Blood made that bond stronger. In fact, right now, Klaus probably had some of an idea that Elijah had imprinted in some form on his servant, because of how much of a blood bond they shared.
Klaus could make Cain do things by his will alone by now, whispering it into Cain's thoughts. Elijah would be the one making a stop at the herbal shop soon. Vervain in a ring, or a small bracelet, woven into the fabric perhaps so that Klaus wouldn't suspect it, could keep Klaus out of Cain's mind when it wasn't wanted. Elijah would have to figure that one out later, if the time came. Right now, he took his time in turning to face Cain again.
When he finally turned and sat, calming his mind. He nodded. "To know you and not be able to touch you was too difficult, did you not feel that. I am a lustful and needy creature. I wanted you, even as I admired you. I don't know how long I could have remained silent. I'm glad that I did not have to find out. I am also glad that you are still here." There was no greater truth that Elijah could tell right now. His face was far more stoic in telling than his words were-- or than he felt. The vampire did his best to mask everything that he was feeling, to have this discussion as one that didn't just share every heightened emotion of his with the man sitting across from him.
"I don't think I could manage to go back into the shadows, and I certainly hope you don't cast me there."
