If Elijah was surprised by the kiss, he didn't show it by any outward sign. Instead, he let Ric stop his reach for the drink and leaned into him, returning the kiss softly and deeply, tongue sliding over Ric's almost teasingly until the other man pulled back.

He gave him a small smile at the question. "You can tell anyone you want to. It's not that I mind them knowing. It's just....a lot of fun to not tell them, knowing they're trying to figure it out." It pissed Klaus off when Elijah kept secrets. Elijah was...currently okay with that.
