Alright, alright, I freaking adore Elijah Mikaelson, this is known. A scene I downright loved was the scene in which Elijah gave his word that Klaus would not kill the witch, Agnes. Klaus was all good and ready to ignore Elijah’s urges not to kill the witch, until Elijah told Klaus he had given his word that Klaus would not kill Agnes, and Elijah is nothing if not short of extremely trustworthy, and even Klaus knows when to back off. Note it looks like Christmas has been cancelled for Klausie and a mutiny is building, but that soon changes to sheer pleasure as Elijah takes control of the situation because really, who the heck would screw with the Mikaelsons, anyhow?
