[Being the first of her siblings mirrors she's encountered, she's almost surprised that Klaus' is the first one to reach out to her. Then again, given the events of the last month, she shouldn't really be surprised at all.
She looks up into the mirror, eyeing the writing carefully for a moment, before she decides it may be worth it to engage, just to see what he's after.]
I think you overestimate my abilities to make my brother miserable. Some of his unhappiness is my fault, yes. But all of it? When we've only been in each other's lives for a year, at most?
[Odd, she was expecting more grasping at straws, and is surprised he didn't go for it. After all, her being taken by Dahlia, hardened his father's heart. Her loss followed by Henrick's trigged their parents choice to turn their siblings into vampires.
But then again, if she hadn't been taken, he probably wouldn't have existed, so in the end it's likely for the best.]
You assume I had any humanity left to begin with.
[Freya set hers to the side long ago, and she didn't need Dahlia to take it from her. It's hard, when you're forced to live outside human rules and going back to living within them has proven to be more of a struggle more often than not. But she isn't about to let that show quite yet.]
And yes, the impact on my brother has been difficult, but I'm also not interested in being tormented, so unless you wish to get to the point, I could end this conversation very quickly.
[And there's a raised hand with a threat of magic that would shatter his words and keep him from using it to communicate with her further.]
[ there's little reason to grasp at straws. out of anyone on her side of the mirror, freya is the most practical, perhaps even over himself. she would expect his silver tongue and angry threats and meet them with the versions her own; even he has to admit she can be more fearsome and damaging than them, especially with magic at her fingertips.
he knows the words won't shake her, not past how they already have and already do. she expects him to be just words.
klaus smiles, placid and knowing. ]
Oh but that's the point, dear sister: torment. You're well-versed enough to understand its language. I intend to collect.
ɹoɹɹᴉɯ. last month sometime ??

Then his unhappiness at present.
Let's see: you've helped him lose—
a son, a daughter, his last refuge from it all—
Not to mention piece after piece after piece of whatever was left of your humanity. I doubt you need Dahlia for that anymore.

[She is really quite curious.]
I wasn't aware I owed anything.
