He curled back a lip, "Dare you..." he said, meeting his eyes with just as much intensity and stepping back so Reno was no longer touching him. He didn't like anyone touching him, or being that close unless he was inflicting pain on them. He smirked and watched Reno go up the stairs.

Heard him open the door and smirked, calling out, "Oh did I forget to mention that....pity." He shook his head and tsked as he went to the liquor cabinet and grabbed a bottle of bourbon to calm himself down. Checking his watch, he waited for him to see his precious little witch. A man with such power like that and he was with a witch? Interesting...

"We've uh started coming to an understanding." She looked tired and he saw the thrown food.

"Witch, you have to eat. Please. Get some sleep too." Gave her a smile. "For me. Please."

Yelled down without moving his eyes from her. "She needs fresh food, Klaus."

He reached out to touch that barrier. "I got so scared. I'm sorry he got you in this."

"I made a deal, Witch. And..." he sighed, "Jenna is dying. She only has days. He can save her by turning her. I have to do it for her."

He glanced down the hall and back. Said low, "No one likes or trusts him. That Katherine woman said she'll protect you...I'll make sure you're safe. Promise."

"I know you do." He stepped back and said softly, "I love you, Witch. Please get some sleep and eat. Okay?"

God he hated leaving her here. But he didn't have a choice. Going downstairs, paused by Klaus. "I need to be level to help your brother. So I'm going to feed. Remember, stay away from my Witch or Ill kill your brother and you." He didn't wait for a response as he walked away.
