WHO: Klaus Mikaelson interminably and Tim Gutterson snipedt
WHERE: New Beijing

WHAT: Getting away, getting involved, getting into trouble
NOTES OR WARNINGS: It's Klaus, so any kinds of open threats, mentions of child abuse mentally and physically, family abuse, family death, patricide, matricide, fratricide, violence, strong language. It's Tim, so mentions of the war, death, sniping, emotionally closed off behavior, violence, guns, the desert?

[ Of course, it all sounds completely reasonable when Klaus explains it like that, but the fact of the matter is that none of it makes a whole lot of sense – so much of this is so far beyond his comprehension. It's times like this that he reminds himself that Klaus isn't anyone, just some guy – there's a whole millennium behind him. ]

I keep forgettin' how old you are, [ Tim says, a little softly. ] Until I remember.

And that wasn't a hundred or a thousand years ago. Only fifteen.

( But, there is a great divide between he and Timothy. He knows this. The train nears its' destination, New Beijing coming into view before them. )

But, even in a single year, much happened. The life of the only living hybrid.

Most interestin' thing I ever did is shoot a guy with a gun on a pregnant woman, [ Tim says with a wry little smile. ] Feelin' kinda inadequate here, Klaus.

Nothing about you, Timothy, is inadequate. And, by your definition, you're a hero. Did you or did you not save that pregnant woman's life?
