[All things considered, Cami's had a pretty good Valentine's Day. There had been far off galaxies and elementary school arts and crafts, plus chocolate, which Cami is never going to say no to. It had been light and fun, and entirely free of the confusion that floods her mind whenever she thinks of Klaus Mikaelson lately. Because while yes, they've been intimate, and yes, there are definitely feelings there, every problematic reason they'd had for not acting on them still exists. He's still bad for her in every imaginable way. Clearly it's a good thing they didn't go the cheesy romantic route and make a date like they were actually some sort of couple rather than a pair of people who don't know what the hell they're doing.
And with enough booze and chocolate, the sting caused by said lack of date should fade away nicely.
Of course, as he so often does, Klaus derails any sort of plans Cami might make for herself the moment she steps into her room. Even before she sees the box, the painting has an unmistakable source. Putting aside her shoebox, Cami moves over to the bed, picking up the artwork first just to look at it.
It's home. New Orleans, a place that only loses the craziest city in the universe title to Wonderland itself. She smiles a little, thinking of things that have happened on the very street Klaus has depicted. It's a sweet gesture, and Cami already knows just where on her walls she wants to hang the painting.
She might have even done so then, except he's given her a second offering. While the artwork may have been from a friend, jewelry has a pretty clear and traditional message. The necklace is absolutely beautiful, even without any knowledge of the symbol's meaning. And of course, Klaus has taken care of that too, teasing her with the promise of understanding should she come to his room.
Except that offer is so much more than a simple promise to talk, and she knows it. Her fingers trace the outline of the symbol as in her head Cami makes any number of guesses to what it might mean. For as callous and cruel as Klaus can be, when he makes a gesture of good will he always seems to find the perfect form for it. Whatever this rune means, it's not just what Klaus thinks of her; it's how he views this thing that's developed between them.
Honestly, she could kick him for putting her in this position.
Well, he's going to have to wait a bit longer to tell her. This isn't a formal evening out to a gala, but Cami still wants to wear something nicer than she had to Star Wars. It's a good date night outfit, but still simple enough to Cami's eyes to make it look like she hasn't gone to too much effort. She's nearly ready to talk out the door when she takes another look at the necklace, still stunning, still safely tucked away in its box. She debates it for a second, then puts the lid back on, opting to carry the gift with her. Whether she'll wear it before the night is out depends entirely on what he has to say--and Cami would be lying if she claimed she isn't eager to hear it. One way or another, tonight may truly be the moment when she knows what's happening between them.
Shortly after, Klaus will get a knock on his door. She doesn't have a present for him, certainly not anything with the same thought and consideration he showed. But she has brought along a rich red wine, well aged, more than suitable for sharing on this particular night.
eeeee :D
