Rosa walked down the stairs when she heard her front door open. She saw Caroline and Tyler walk in. Caroline was holding a laptop and Tyler was holding something wrapped in a blanket.

"No, no, no. You, get out of my house. Now." She said sternly. "You aren't welcome here. Go."

Caroline and Tyler sighed. "Rosa, we need Tyler here." She said. Rosa glared at the blond angrily. "If I can forgive Klaus, maybe you could forgive Tyler."

"Klaus did bite you, yes, but he didn't tie you up in vervain ropes." Caroline looked at Tyler and then to Klaus who shrugged.

After the two of them staring at each other for a while Klaus sighed, "Rosalina...maybe you should come into the barrier."

Rosa scoffed, "This is my house. I should be allowed to say who's not allowed in here." Despite her statement she walked next to Klaus and pouted.

Caroline and Tyler sit on the couch and Rosa watched as Tyler unwraps the blanket, revealing a sword.

"Found this in your attic." He tells Klaus.

"And you think finding the sword brings you closer to the cure?"

He shrugs, "You tell me. I was playing around with the handle on the ride over, and I found this." He continues to unwrap the sword to reveal a leather top to the sword. Klaus gets up and walks closer to Tyler, Rosa following after him.

"And what do you think this is?" He asks. Rosa looks at it to see it's some sort of lock device.

Caroline then stands up and walks over to them, "It's called a cryptex." She says. Everyone looks at her confused. "I've seen the da Vinci Code. You turn different sides to the different symbols to get the translation on the other side. And with the magic of the internet, Elena sent over these." Caroline holds up pictures of Jeremy's tattoo. "So now all we have to do is cryptex away. If you happened to want to help, we wouldn't stop you."

Rosa stifles a laugh. "I'm out. I don't do need shit." She smiles while Caroline rolls her eyes.

Klaus holds back a laugh as he looks at Rosa. "Right. Well, might I suggest using the magic of the internet to purchase an Aramaic-to-English dictionary from your nearest retailer." Klaus smirks and Rosa sighs.

Tyler turns to Caroline, "What's Aramaic?"

"It's a dead language. It hasn't been used since like, biblical times." Caroline tells him.

"Come on Tyler, keep up." Rosa says calmly as she pulls out her phone.

Klaus smiled softly before turning back to Caroline and Tyler, "Qetsiyah's native tongue, I'm guessing. You know, even if you had the best dictionary in the world, it could take days to translate." Klaus says as he sits down next to Rosa. "Perhaps weeks." Suddenly Klaus says, "In bas so-teen-too ara-ma-eet."
