Chapter Thirteen
MIKAELSON COMPOUND
The next day, in the study, Luna, Trinity and Nikole are playing with Baby Marion.
Klaus slowly walks inside and looks at his daughters and niece. "Luna? Trinity? Have you seen your mother?"
"She left earlier this morning." Luna told her Dad.
"Did she say where she was going?" Klaus asked.
"Nope . . ." Trinity trailed off, getting up and pulls out a piece of paper from her jacket pocket. ". . . But Mom left you a note."
Klaus gently takes the note from his youngest daughter and reads it.
Be back home later on this late afternoon. -Christy
Klaus sighs to himself, worriedly.
"You and Mom aren't okay, aren't you, Dad?" Trinity asked, noticed the marital tension between her parents.
"We're not on good terms with each other." Klaus said to her. "But we'll work things out together. Like we always do."
Klaus and Trinity exchange small smiles at each other and Trinity walks back over to Luna, Nikole and Baby Marion.
And Klaus walks away.

HOME ISLAND OF MOUNT ORASANI / HAGARTH'S PUB
Later on that day, Klaus had arrived at Hagarth's Pub and is sitting at the bar counter.
{Christy's Outfit}
Hagarth slowly walks over to him and gently sets down a hock bottle of bourbon and a glass cup.
Klaus and Hagarth exchange looks at each other.
"I think yer needed a drink." Hagarth said to Klaus.
"Thanks, Hagarth." Klaus thanked him with a small smile. "Is Christy around?"
"She gonna be here few minutes." Hagarth replied.
Klaus and Hagarth exchange nods at each other. And suddenly, the door opens; and Christy walks inside.
And Talbot playfully teases her by dramatically clapping. "Looky, looky, the legendary Orasanian Warrior, Christiana."
Gently pulls off her sunglasses and Christy looks at Talbot and rolls her eyes at him.
"Get over yourself, Talbot." Christy said to him.
Talbot and Christy exchange playful small smiles at each other and playfully fists bump each other.
Klaus looks at Christy as she slowly walks over to Tritocus and his wife, Aediphae.
"Chitchat with Christy." Hagarth said to Klaus.
Klaus looks at Hagarth. "Christy is still angry with me. And even if we were to talk to each other, I wouldn't know what to say."
"Whatever lays within yer heart, Klaus." Hagarth said, giving some advice to the Original Hybrid.
Klaus and Hagarth exchange small smiles at each other and Hagarth walks away.
Christy walks up to the bar counter. "Hey, Hagarth."
"Hello, Christy. Your usual cider?" Hagarth asked.
"Sure." Christy said.
Hagarth walks over to a keg with a glass mug and fills the glass cup with cider. He walks back over to Christy and hands her the cup of cider.
"Thanks, big buddy." Christy thanked Hagarth.
Klaus looks at Christy but she doesn't look at him as she walks away, but she knows that he's there.
Klaus sighs to himself and takes a swig of his bourbon.
"Christy? Do yer mind playing your acoustic guitar?" Hagarth asked her.
"I don't mind, Hagarth." Christy said, gently walks up the stage with her acoustic guitar, gently putting on her sunglasses.
Hagarth joins her on the stage and sits at the antique piano and began to play the piano. And Christy plays her acoustic guitar.
Everyone in the pub averts their attention at Hagarth and Christy as they play instrumental music.
Klaus drinks the rest of his bourbon in one gulp and excuses himself and walks away.
And Christy notices her husband, Klaus, walking out of the pub.
Now, outside of Hagarth's Pub, Klaus inhales and exhales.
"I'm assuming that Christiana isn't speaking to you." The Centaur, Tithonus, said to Klaus.
Klaus looks at Tithonus. "Christy has been emotionally avoiding me and has been giving me the cold shoulder."
"Christy still loves you, Klaus. She's just having one of her attitudes." Tithonus said.
"I know." Klaus said.
"Klaus." Tithonus said with a nod and walks back inside Hagarth's Pub.
And Klaus walks away.

That late afternoon, Klaus is taking a stroll around through the market. He sees Christy at a vendor, getting herself a plum fruit and walks away.
"Christy?" Klaus said, walking after his wife. "Christiana?"
Christy stops walking and turns around to look at Klaus through her sunglasses. "Did you get my note from Trinity?"
"I did, but I wanted to come here." Klaus said to her. "I asked Hagarth to teleport me using his teleportation device."
"I'll see you at home, Klaus." Christy said to him.
"At least, give me a chance to fix things between us." Klaus said to her. "Don't continue to push me away."
"Fine then. I'll give you a chance." Christy said.
Klaus small smiles to himself and walks away from him.
⚜️⚜️
Afterwards, Klaus is walking around, and notice some 6 bandits slowly following him.
Klaus stopped walking and turns around to confront the six bandits. "Unless, you value your life, I suggest you stopped following me."
"We just want your coins." The male bandit told him, gently pulls out a pocket knife from his pants pocket.
The six bandits surrounds Klaus and he shrugs his shoulders.
"Alright then." Klaus said.
The six bandits lunges at Klaus and he fights them off one by one. And suddenly, Christy comes out of nowhere and pulls the bandit leader away from Klaus.
"Back off, Tomas?!" Christy exclaimed.
Tomas looks at Christy, wielding his pocket knife in his hand. He and Christy exchange tense looks at each other.
The Bandit's leader, Tomas, and his Bandits walks away.
Klaus and Christy exchange looks at each other.
"You okay?" Christy asked.
"I'm fine." Klaus reassured her.

MIKAELSON COMPOUND
That evening, in the study, Klaus and Christy are sitting on the sofa. With a cotton swab, she gently cleans Klaus's scrape wound on his left cheek.
"You do know I can heal right?" Klaus reminded her of his hybrid healing abilities.
"Yeah, I know, so, duh." Christy said with a obvious expression on her face and gently removes the cotton swab from his cheek. "I'm done."
"Thanks." Klaus thanked her. "Thanks for coming to my rescue."
"You're welcome." Christy said to him.
Klaus and Christy exchange soften looks at each other and, in that moment of tenderness, they share a kiss.
Klaus and Christy exchange another soften looks at each other.
"I forgive you." Christy told him.
Klaus small smiles at her, relieved to have her forgiveness. "What are we gonna do about Persephone? She's the one that conjured up this scheme to causes a wedge between us?"
"We'll handle her together." Christy replied to Klaus.
"Who is Tomas anyway?" Klaus asked.
"Tomas is the leader of The Bandits." Christy told her husband. "They have their own lair and have food baskets and other stuff, but they also try to take coins from others."
"Do you know of him?" Klaus asked her.
"Yeah, I know him." Christy said. "He tried to still my cookies and I kneed him in his groin."
Klaus chuckles softly to himself. "And by the way, Luna, Trinity, and Nik were babysitting Marion."
Christy becomes in awestruck. "My Little Baby Mar was here."
"Yeah." Klaus said. "And so, to address the wedge between us, are we okay?"
"Yeah, we're fine, Klaus." Christy reassured her husband with a small smile.
"And by the way, Hagarth given me some advice." Klaus said.
Which surprises Christy. "Oh, really?"
"Yeah, really? I see why you and Hagarth has such a good relationship. He figured out that you and I had some tension between us." Klaus said.
"What was the advice that Hagarth given you?" Christy asked.
"I didn't know what to say to you if I were to talk to you, and so, Hagarth told me to say whatever lays within my heart." Klaus told Christy. "Hagarth is a soft hearted person."
"Yeah, he is." Christy said. "He even has a crossbow tucked away under the bar counter at his pub."
Klaus and Christy exchange chuckles with each other.
"We're exploring the Nexus Realm tomorrow morning." Christy said.
"And if something happens?" Klaus asked her with a worried expression on his face.
"And if something happens, we'll handle it together." Christy said.
