Within the mist of new villains 'you can never truly change your past' seems to be more true than ever. Yet if there was one thing Odette de Marie has learned from the Mikaelson family is, there is nothing that can come between you and saving the on...
Hayley is sitting on a park bench at Jackson Square, watching children play nearby with a mournful expression. When Klaus appears and sits down next to her, yet it was obvious that Hayley is still deeply in grief and her voice is emotionless when she speaks to him
"Come to pay your respects?" Hayley says instead of making a snarky comment as expected, making Klaus give her a genuine smile
"It's easy to speak well of Jackson. He was a good man" Klaus says as he looks over at the baby tree several feet in front of them, "Though it is a bit macabre, isn't it? Burying his heart under a sapling?"
"At least Hope will have a place to visit him. I don't want her to forget how much she loved him" Hayley says with a sigh making Klaus give her a sympathetic look but Hayley can't meet his eyes
"I am sorry... for your loss" Klaus says
"Mmm. Everybody's sorry. Doesn't make a whole lot of difference, does it?" Hayley says tired of hearing how sorry everyone is
"Perhaps not. I've heard time heals all wounds, but that has not been my own experience. I wonder if keeping busy might help distract you from your grief?" Klaus questions making Hayley turn to look at him, part of her was curious while the other was suspicious
"You have something in mind?" Hayley asks

"Aurora's still at large. No doubt plotting her revenge. She used Camille to get to me once. She may do so again. And, Cami is rather vulnerable. I'd like to provide some safeguarding" Klaus explains with a sigh as knowing the reason why Cami wanted her dark objects and he couldn't be the one there to protect her. He knew who was up for the job
Hayley thinks about it for a moment before she responds, "Isn't that your job?"
"No. Not anymore" Klaus says with a frown making Hayley once again take a moment to consider his offer before sighing reluctantly as she needed to ask one last thing before she agrees
"Is Odette going to be helping?"
"Yes, but I am worried for her as well. I need you to keep an eye on her" Klaus says making Hayley sigh as she nods her head and say "Fine"
Klaus seems pleased by Hayley's response, but before he can say anything more, his phone buzzes in his jacket pocket and he scowls in annoyance as he stands to his feet and pulls it out to answer Elijah's call

Odette walked into Cami's apartment finding the door open, and walks into the room. She finds Cami reading an old, yellowed book while an assortment of dark objects lay strewn across her coffee table. Odette stops in the doorway between the living room and the kitchen
"Did you know your downstairs doorbell is broken?" Odette says making Cami turn to face her looking unamused
"Yeah, I keep forgetting to compel the shady landlord to fix it. Next time, text" Cami replies as she shuts the book and walks towards Odette until they're face-to-face "You could get hurt, sneaking up on someone with a stockpile of dark objects"
