"If I weren't so bloody sick, I'd rip your head off!" Rebekah threatened.

"But you are sick, and comforting the sick always was a talent of mine. I take care of my friends. We were friends, weren't we? Of course we were" Genevieve says mocking.

She takes a cool, damp, washcloth and starts blotting at Rebekah's forehead with it.

...Mikaelson Compound...

Elijah enters the courtyard to find Marcel sending out more troops to search the city.

"Anything?" Elijah asks.

"They're putting eyes and ears out everywhere. Daywalkers are working every contact we've got. Cops, dock workers, guys in the Treme...Word is out: anyone trying to earn favor with me gets a lifetime of it if they find them" Marcel says.

"Good. I need a pen and paper" Elijah says.

He walks away, and after Marcel pauses a moment and rolls his eyes, he follows behind him.

"Hey, am I taking orders from you now, or are we in this together?" Marcel asks annoyed.

Elijah starts removing his jacket.

"Pen and paper, Marcellus. Now!" Elijah demanded.

"I want her back just as much as you do, you know...The both of them" Marcel sighs "Rosie couldn't sleep tonight because of how the babies were agitated and we think it's because of Klaus' absence"

Elijah looks up surprised at Marcel and he just shrugged. When Marcel leaves to get the supplies, Elijah begins stripping off his shirt as he calls out for Rosalind to come into the study.

"ROSIE!" he yells.

She enters the room, typing on her phone.

"Elijah! You're back. Did you find any..." she looks up and stops when she realizes that Elijah is both shirtless and covered in tattooed names and gapes awkwardly "...thing?" She stares at him in confusion and little stunned by the scene in front of her. Seeing her stare at his naked torso, caused him to smirk internally. She cleared her throat "What is happening?"

"I need you to make a list of these names" he says.

While she waits on Marcel, she begins examining the names tattooed across Elijahs shoulders, arms, back, and abdomen. He had to hold a groan to escape from his lips when her delicate hand touched his back.

"Sabine? Elijah, what is this?" she asks reading out loud.

"I believe they represent the names of the women Celeste inhabited for the past two centuries" Elijah says recovering himself.

Marcel rejoins them and hands the paper and pen to Rosalind.

"It's called a Devinette. It's old school. Kind of a riddle. Witches use them to teach their kids. Solve it, and it disappears" Marcel says.

"Why? What's the point?" she asks.

"Celeste forced me to make a choice between yourself and my siblings, and now she means to mock that choice, taunting me with a childish game. The longer the game, the more they suffer. To find Klaus and Rebekah, we need to solve this riddle. The solution lies somewhere in these names" Elijah says and her eyes widened.
