The tension in Riya's gaze--although there for only a moment before she smirked and offered a one liner--didn't go unnoticed by Klaus. He allowed himself to grin back with his half-smile and a short, smug chuckle. He shook his head in a chiding manor and glanced around carelessly as she continued. It was plain that she was going suggest [i]not[/i] killing the men--but suddenly a new player entered the game. The two immediately locked their attentions onto the girl, and Klaus' brows knitted closer together. Had he misheard or had she muttered the family's namesake before collapsing? He glanced to Riya and the youngling. His lips had been set in a straight line before he opened them to speak-- 

And enter Olivia, ready to fight to defend her family. Luckily she was quick to catch herself, and Klaus matched her warmth in his smile. "Olivia Bianchi, you call and I'll come," he said, though a hint of melodrama laced his words, dismissed as teasing by casual hand gestures. He watched her attention dip to the bodies, though he was confident the Bianchi head would take his side here. As an outsider to the family, however, he simply stood politely aside and watched as she gave the others orders to do this or that. As Olivia examined the young girl, he nearly stepped forward to explain she had spoken the family names before blacking out. However, it seemed she recognized something about her, and he stopped suddenly to eye the situation as it unfolded.

A human girl, a mention of Leon--that couldn't have been a good combination--and the night sounded quite eventual for the Bianchi-Smiths. He wasn't quite ready to return to the mansion with them due to the drama, but Olivia gave assurance that was alright. It was clear that she [i]did[/i] agree with Klaus' mentality over Riya's, however, and he shot a taunting, toothy grin at the other as Olivia turned her back. Though his eyebrows raised when Riya approached him in Olivia's leave. His gaze narrowed as she spoke soberly, clearly sympathetic toward the humans. "Sorry, love," he said simply, undoing the cuffs of his sleeves, watching the two follow after Olivia.
