Evelyn's outfit ^^^

Evelyn walked into the room to see Klaus and a woman sitting at the table

"So you're rested. Fed. Tell me about Katerina," Klaus said to the woman as she heard Katherine's name she froze

"Most men get their power kick from torture and intimidation," The woman said

"Not just men," Evelyn said alerting them of her presence

"Evelyn, how are you feeling?" Klaus asked

"Dead," Evelyn said picking and grape off the table and eating it

"But with him, its drinks and fine dining," The woman said

"Who are you?" Evelyn asked

"Hayley," Hayley told her

"Well, in your case, I favour hospitality over unpleasantness. But I have been known to change my mind on a whim, just ask Evelyn. Where is Katerina?" Klaus asked

"You seriously think I know?" Hayley asked

"You tipped her off and set her on a course for the cure. In return, she's sent her lackey to snuff you out. Tell me, what did Katerina promise you?" Klaus asked

"I was in New Orleans, trying to find information about my real parents. Katherine found me and told me she could help," Hayley told them

"An orphan. That does explain your charming bravado. Abandonment issues do it every time," Klaus said

"Sounds like you would know," Hayley said

"We are the only ones that would do know," Evelyn said

"I'm the only one that can protect you. I'm happy to do so, provided you cooperate," Klaus said

"Are you looking for Katherine?" Evelyn asked

"Yes, seems she ran off with the cure," Klaus said

"Oh yeah. Did I forget to mention she came and saw me yesterday? She did say a little something about a cure," Evelyn said

"Tell me where she is!" Klaus shouted

"Yeah, I snitch," Evelyn said patting Klaus's head

"Good doggy," Evelyn said and walked out

"Hate that, too much, I don't get that. I don't care. This one...doesn't make me wanna puke. Why'd you paint it?" Hayley asked as she looked through Klaus's paintings

"Painting is a metaphor for control. Every choice of mine, the canvas, the color. As a child, I had neither a sense of the world nor my place in it. But art taught me that one's vision can be achieved with the sheer force of will. The same is true of life...provided one refuses to let anything stand in ones way," Klaus told Hayley

"So this is your thing? Show a girl a few mediocre paintings, whine about your childhood and I swoon and spill all my dirty secrets?" Hayley asked

"He can try, he's not as good as he thinks," Evelyn said from the doorway

"Shouldn't you be at school?" Klaus asked

"Seriously, I haven't been there in months. Elena's off the rails and there as well," Evelyn said but said Elena's name with a hiss

"Right, well I have many charms, but regardless I am enjoying myself," Klaus said

"And you do whatever you enjoy, up to and including hunting my friend Tyler for the next century," Hayley said

"Surely not the next century," Klaus said

"Katherine had been running for 500 years, I give Tyler 200," Evelyn said

"You talk a good game, but the truth is you let him go. My guess? You know if you kill him Caroline will hate you forever," Hayley said

"Spot on," Evelyn said

"If I simply kill Tyler, my revenge would be over in a moment. Sentencing him to a lifetime of paranoia and fear, that's Tyler's true punishment," Klaus told her

"You can't persuade him, I'm the only one that has been ever able to do that and it doesn't work," Evelyn said and walked out

"What's her problem?" Hayley asked

"Nothings her problem," Klaus said

"Who even is she? I didn't know you guys had another sibling," Hayley asked

"She's not our sibling," Klaus told her

"Then who is she?" Hayley persisted

"Soulmate. Bestfriend. Sister. Annoying little sister, you can guess what she means to everyone," Klaus said

"Hey," Katherine said through the phone

"Hi, you know Klaus is looking for you," Evelyn told her

"I'm aware," Katherine said

"Where are you?" Evelyn asked

"Why do you wanna know?" Katherine

"Because I want to get out of this town, too many memories," Evelyn told her

"I'll pick you up," Katherine said

"Great," Evelyn said and hung up
