[ They've had their differences, but Kol had been out of control then. Just like Niklaus. Only they had no way of containing Niklaus. They had no way to stop him. The daggers never worked on him. He always had the upper hand in their family because of his hybrid status. Always lording their demise over their heads if they crossed a line with him. ]
Because you're still alive for me, brother. Back home you're alive and well. Irritating Rebekah and making Niklaus squirm. My family is whole still. Niklaus was the one to tell me of your death as well as Finn and our mother.
[ He thought they could be a family, but his mother had a different agenda. One that would see them all dead. ]
You were never in a position to hear me, Kol. Always so wild and reckless. Would it have meant anything to you then? Would you have even heard it?
[ Kol and Niklaus are so alike sometimes it's painful for him. Both so out of control. Both spiraling downward and all he can do is hope that they're okay when they land. ]
It's never too late to be there. That's what I intend to do. Be there for you.
[ Kol sucks in a sharp breath as eyes narrow dangerously at his brother. ]
All my life I've been alone - you lot have never cared for me. If this is some trick [ He can't help how his voice weakens on the word. ] or if you're playing at something, Elijah, I won't forgive you.
[ That's all he can think to threaten at the moment, far too taken aback by the words he's wanted to hear his entire life. ]
You expect me to just believe you, hm? What have you done to earn my trust, oh noble brother? Stab me in the heart with a dagger time and time again? Take our brother's side. Decide I'm not worthy of anything more than laying in a coffin?
[ The words scare him more than anything, because he wants them to be true. ]
Or maybe now that you can't dagger me either I'm to become some pet project for redemption like Nik?
