"They're gonna get a picture whether you like it or not. Welcome to Cali."
Klaus just considers the nosy media part of his every day life, but he does make a mental note to see what Allison's people can do to clean up anything left over from this little visit.
And while Klaus isn't too surprised by the defensiveness in his brother's tone, it does make him backpedal just slightly. He doesn't have that kind of forward, frank relationship with his brother. Not when it comes to these more emotional things, certainly. For while Klaus might be a little more willing to open up under pressure, he knows too well Diego hasn't had the same opportunity in many ways.
So Klaus lets go of Diego's hand in favor of plopping his chin into his own palm, propping his elbow up on one knee. "Ooh, badge of honor, not your first time, huh?" He smirks and gives a playful wink, even though that's not at all what Diego means, but Klaus knows too well he needs to diffuse the tension, to bring some levity back into the room. They can get into the nitty gritty shit later, when Diego's nice and drugged up and in a little less pain.
Thirty years and they still have so much to learn about one another.
"But that's not gonna stop me from being a fussy mother hen. Believe it or not, your wild, partying little brother makes a very good nursemaid. I look especially good in a little nurse's uniform. Should I go find one?"
