Elijah had returned to the home that he shared with Katerina having left Rebekah at the compound with Niklaus and Hayley. He assured Niklaus that this move would not affect the closeness of their family but it was something that he needed to do. He could not remain within such a close proximity of Hayley and Jackson. Seeing them together with Hope caused him more upset than he could allow to show.
But Hayley had made her choice and now he had to live with the fact that he had acted too late to express his feelings towards her. Something that he would regret for the rest of his life. But he had to move on with his immortal life. He was well aware that things had changed between him and Katerina since their encounter at the wedding reception.
Entering the room that Katerina had taken on the first floor, he stepped inside and could hear the shower from the bathroom. Finding himself a seat by a small desk in the corner of the room, he heard the bathroom door creak open and Katerina emerge from a cloud of steam.

Resting her head against the shower wall as she let the hot water wash over her skin, she closed her eyes. Katherine was a fighter, and even know she could feel the other woman clawing at the confines of her mind in an attempt to free herself from this possession. She wasn't worried about it. Katherine might have been a strong woman, but she wasn't that strong. It was quite easy to bring up memories and scenes from the past to use as a barrier against her. She'd never been to Hell, but the scars left on not only Katherine's mind but her soul as well led her to believe that it wasn't a pleasant trip.
With the constant scratching at bay for the moment, she turned the water off. Grabbing a towel from the rack beside the shower, she dried herself off, and then wrapped the towel around her. Leaning forward to slide her hand across the mirror, clearing the fog that had rested against the surface, she tilted her head slightly. Katherine's dark locks and eyes were a far contrast to her blonde hair and light eyes. Whenever she caught her reflection it threw her off guard for a split second.
Opening the door to her bedroom, she stopped in the doorway. Her eyes landed on Elijah, and she forced herself not let out a harsh breath. The way his eyes trailed over her made her shift uncomfortably, and she raised a brow at him. She might have been in the body of his lover, but that didn't mean she was willing to cross that line. He was still her brother, no matter what body she might have inhabited.
"Elijah," she spoke, her voice cool. "Is Rebekah alright?"
There was genuine concern in her voice. She held no ill will towards her sister, and the deeds done to her were regrettable even if they were necessary.

Elijah had relaxed into the chair with his leg draped loosely over his knee, his elbow rested on the arm of the chair and his finger lingering on his lower lip. As the mist faded and exposed Katerina standing in a towel, he smirked briefly and nodded "Rebekah shall recover from our brother's treachery. Of course no one will truly understand the scars that shall remain with her" he spoke knowing exactly what it felt like.
Pushing himself up out of the chair and crossing the room towards Katerina with a curve of a smile in the corner of his lips. Walking around her he wrapped an arm around her waist and rested his chin on her shoulder "She has yet to wake but Niklaus shall call when she had risen" he assured her.
Running his other hand down her side to join on her waist, his lips gently kissing her neck "Perhaps until then..." he whispered ending as he kissed the side of her neck.

She was all too aware of the scars that their sister would bare, and perhaps one day she could make it better. For now, Rebekah was the least of her worries at the moment however. Her posture changed as Elijah started towards her. She pulled the towel around her tighter, and as he wrapped an arm around her waist. Tilting her head away from him, her jaw was set but she didn't outwardly seem upset.
"You should be with them," she spoke, glancing at him briefly. If he wasn't here, then she wouldn't have to deal with any awkward situation like the one she was currently in. As his other hand glided down her side, she tensed even more, her body becoming solid, rock hard muscle. The moment his lips pressed against her skin, she was pulling away from him. While normally she would have shown obvious attraction and willingness down to the very way her body stood, the only thing that she showed was indifference.

Elijah continued to gently kiss Katerina's neck "Niklaus is very capable of using a phone. Should anything arise he shall alert us" he assured her. Letting his hand wander to the join in the towel that wrapped around her tiny frame he was surprised at the distance that she put between them.
He could sense a change in the way that she acted "Did I offend you?" he asked looking on worriedly and puzzled. Elijah put the change down to recent circumstances and events that had occurred in these last few days. Taking a step towards her he noticed her take a step back from his touch.
"...Katerina if you desire to talk?" he whispered frowning.

Taking a step back from him as he stepped forward, she tilted her head at him. Her eyes narrowed just a fraction, and her fingers twitched. She turned away from, clearing her throat as she moved towards the dresser. Opening the drawer, she began looking for something suitable to wear, which was difficult because Katherine was without a doubt perhaps one of the most whorish people she had ever met. She wondered if Elijah knew that it was all an act that Katherine had built up around herself.
"I do not," she replied, looking over her shoulder at him at his words. "I'm tired." Which wasn't the truth, but at least she had the advantage of using her attack against Finn. Katherine was strong. She had raw untapped power that she could use if ever taught how, but still, she wasn't used to expelling that much energy.

Elijah couldn't get the feeling that Katerina was holding something back from him and he desired to press her to tell him exactly what was going on. But he could sense that she was not exactly in the right frame of mind to speak, knowing her well enough that when she did not want to talk she wouldn't.
Remaining in the same spot watching her head to the dresser and choose her attire, he couldn't break the gaze that he had with her and nodded explaining that she was tired.
"Would you prefer if I left you alone Katerina?" he asked

She hesitated, mainly for show. She knew her answer before he had even finished the question, but she needed to give the appearance of thinking it over. She needed him to believe that nothing was seriously wrong or he would pry, and she didn't want to kill her brother. Not yet, at least.
She turned slightly to face him, letting her gaze fall to the floor. Letting out a breath, she nodded her head. "Yes. I don't feel like company at the moment." She paused, her lips turning down into a frown. "I'm sorry..."
She hoped the apology would sell it, and he'd leave her well enough alone. She'd already strayed too far from what Katherine would do, but she refused to cross that line.

Elijah crossed the room to stand in front of her and gently cupped her cheeks with his hands and kissed her forehead and rested his forehead against hers "Please no need to explain, your magic is still relatively new" he told her having encountered several witches in his past who had the same problem.
Taking a step back "I have a few errands to run so I shall be gone for quite some time but should something arise I shall let you know" he promised her.
Elijah felt his phone buzz in his pocket and knew that it was Niklaus calling "I shall return soon" he smirked and left the room.

She'd braced herself for his approach, and as he reached for her, she'd begun to turn her head away. She felt his lips against her forehead and while she knew that Elijah had refused to tell Katherine exactly what she meant to him, his actions spoke louder than words.
Nodding her head slightly at his words, she cleared her throat, shifting to pull the towel tighter around her. He was far too close to her liking. She raised her head slightly to meet his gaze. When he finally left, her entire body language changed. She straightened to her full height, and pulled her lower lip between her teeth.
In time, she would let Elijah and Niklaus know exactly what had happened to their doppelganger, but at the moment it wasn't necessary. The would find out in due time.
