Klaus is out and about in New Orleans when he finds a no name vampire using compulsion on Alycia Jasmin Debnam-Carey but Klaus immediately gets protective of the Australian actress.

Klaus walks over and clears his throat Excuse me, but don’t you know to respect your Heda

The vampire looks mortified to the point he looked as pale as a corpse, and he had to check that he wasn’t one too.

The vampire stuttered out gibberish uhh-ummm-seee-ahhh-sheeeeet

Klaus was smiling but this made the vampire whimper

Alycia looked between Klaus and the vampire You two know each other?

Klaus replied I know him well enough to know he’s a bloodsucking parasite. How long have you known him?

Alycia thought about it and replied Not long maybe 35 minutes, but he’s oddly charming but in a way that makes you question if there’s something wrong with you.

Klaus gripped the vampire’s knee tightly causing discomfort as he spoke to Alycia Ah and when you say he’s charming do you mean he talks you into things you wouldn’t normally do?

Alycia laughed and looked embarrassed Gosh I didn’t really want to say it but yeah, yeah that describes it well.

Klaus asked politely If you wouldn’t mind I’d like to hear the tea.

Alycia replied after sipping her drinking Idk if you used that phrase right but I really feel safe talking to you for some reason so… Sirius here, somehow talked me into buying him a few drinks and talking uncharacteristically dirty to him, and quite frankly I thought he was going to talk me into more if you hadn’t shown up.

Klaus looked at Sirius and compelled him Sirius was it, do me a favor and go enjoy a swim on this oh so sunny day, oh but leave your ring with me… we wouldn’t want you to lose it in the water would we?

Without the ring the vampire Sirius would burn alive in the sun but he followed Klaus’ instructions.

Klaus turned back to Alycia and payed her back for Sirius’ drinks and then took a step further and paid for another round I apologize for my friend there he’s a real fiend that one. Though I just want to say I’m a big fan of your work Miss Debnam-Carey

Alycia smiled and injected Please call me Alycia, no need to be so formal, I get enough formalities from my agent

Klaus smiled and continued I loved you as Lexa and as Alicia, I hope you get more big opportunities, in fact I’ll make a few visits to see if I can arrange for that.

Alycia perked up in surprise You’re involved with the film industry?

Klaus smiled a genuine happy smile No I just have a lot of connections and I am very persuasive. But welcome to New Orleans, I’d love to show you around if you’d be up for it.

Alycia briefly wondered if it was a bad idea before saying Well I don’t normally run off with guys I just meet but I’ll make an exception for you.

Klaus smiled and spent the day showing Alycia around, no ill intent or ulterior motives just a wholesome interaction with someone Klaus found to be like an adorable friend or perhaps a little sister who didn’t know about his dark side.

Klaus invited Alycia to his mansion and she joked Wow real subtle, thought you had to wait until the 3rd date to take me to your place.

Klaus snorted Oh stop, I just wanted some pleasant company for a change!

Alycia smiled and blushed but not in a romantic way but in a way that showed she had great chemistry with Klaus at least the side of him he let her see

Klaus showed Alycia his paintings while playing piano and Alycia was astounded both by his musical skills and beautiful artworks and she complimented Omg Klaus you’re literally perfect! I’m guessing you pull a lot of ladies, you give bad boy with a secret soft side vibes!

Klaus felt validated yet uncomfortably exposed. You are great at reading people. But let’s not talk about me I got you something.

Alycia looked intrigued Keep it up I’m gonna think you planned on “accidentally” bumping into me today.

Klaus laughed No, no, no I give this to everyone I like. Klaus puts a vervain necklace around Alycia’s neck, the necklace itself has an eloquent design
