"I'm a lover, not a fighter," Klaus joked, raising his shoulders in a shrug. "There was one left by the time I arrived, anayway," he added as his gaze flickered to the path the young rogue escaped on and then back to Beatrix to look her up and down. He left out his general distaste of slaying others of your own kind--not to mention feeding on them--as it wasn't the Blackmoores' fault they were ambushed. Probably. She continued, though there was a pause in her voice. Although he noted it, he didn't think anything of it; it wasn't uncommon for sires to be more than just the vampire who turned you. However, the empathy of losing a sire was lost on Klaus, his own less than lovable. But he did give himself a moment to mull over her words. "You want to know if I knew this man," he stated. The woman before him was dangerous and just had a helping serving of vampire blood, so he found himself hesitant to answer. If she was searching for revenge, he could become an unintended target. However, maybe it was the soft tone of her voice or the desperate look in those blue eyes--whatever it was, it appealed to Klaus' pity and he nodded. "He introduced me to a--" he mocked her pause with a slight lift of the corner of his lip, "[i]friend[/i] in the 13th century. We didn't remain in the country long, however." Then his gaze shifted over her to frown at the head again. "Again, not a Kingston. I don't report to Mira," he reminded Alistair. His pride wasn't too fond of a vampire half his age giving him orders, even simple ones. He wasn't a messenger for the families. And while Klaus was still irritated that vampire blood had to be spilled tonight, he supposed at this point it could only be considered the Blackmoores defending themselves. Perhaps the incident would be worth looking into--the rogues must've been relatively young to outnumber the foe and still be slaughtered. "That said, if you need help with the rogues," his gaze shifted to the Blackmoore girl who had been injured and then healed, "I'm available for the next few days."
