You Have My Word...

What happens when an ardent tele-series fan comes across a cold blooded, yet hot Original? Sparks fly!!!

The fan in discussion here is me and the not so cold Original is none other than Elijah Mikaelson.  In my thirty plus years, never did it happen that a fictional character made me go weak in the knees. Elijah made all the difference.

Apart from the fact that this suit clad, lean and suave vampire has the looks to die for, what makes him more likable is the set of values that he believes in. I have been following the two series in which he features as the Original vampire for past few years yet every time he fills the screen, I get goosebumps. 

The one sentence that got me hooked to him was " You have my word!!"

Nothing means more to Elijah than his words. He would go to any lengths just to keep his word. Me thinks - this value defines who Elijah truly is. Every time he says these 4 words and sticks to them, I end up smiling and like him a percent more than I liked him last.

 

The goat in me relates so well to this trait of his that every time I hear him say the golden words, a hope rises in me. And it wants me to believe that this world is not all that bad. While Elijah is fiction, there are men who do keep their word. In fact, keeping their word is everything to them.

Alas such men are a rarity these days and when you find one, you keep them - as a friend, a partner, a soulmate, a four am call buddy, a travel buddy and the list would go on. There is nothing sexier to me than a man who vows to keep his word and never breaks this vow.

Cheers to them!!!
