Elijah was taking on the biggest task that he had ever done in his immortal life. For over a thousand years he had watched the birth of new life and watched death claim that very life. He and his siblings had seen the morning sun and the dawn claimed a town.

He had witnessed the creation of historical events that were still remembered and celebrated this very day. He had held the life of a mortal in his bare hands and watched their light vanish from their eyes.

But never did he think that he would find himself sitting in Hustler, a boutique in New Orleans that catered for almost every occasion. He had promised that he would take Katerina to acquire some new clothing items and personal affects. Elijah had not expected to find himself here three hours longer than he anticipated. 

With several bags already sitting by his feet as his leg draped over his knee as he sat uncomfortably in the most hideous chair that he had ever sat in. Resting his head in the palm of his hand as some sort of burlesque music played in the background "Have you quite finished Katerina" he called through to the changing room.
