They will look to us with prejudice and superstition. Soon they'll sneak to our doors with their little figures and crosses. Hasn't there been enough of that already?
I saw soldiers shooting up coffins in Romania, Lestat.
[ he isn't as naive as he used to be. but also let him live his pretend human life a little longer shh. ]
[ He didn't even mention the party, what did you do at the devil's sacrament, Louis?]
I've killed no one worth missing, that I can be of assurance. [ His tone gently condescending in the way that might suggest a notch of victory in a fight that only he is keeping score of. ]
[ he's struggling to keep calm and Lestat may easily notice that. hearing your dead lover's voice in your head after all this time is one thing and now he's trying to piss you off on purpose? ]
Good for you. I'm done killing.
[ announcing it out loud even though no one asked. ]
[ It's a soft and familiar place for them both, as though no time has passed at all and they're tucked away in that festering flat in the French Quarter driving each other insane. ]
A tale I've heard you spin a thousand times. Back to the critters for you, then? I can hear them scratching and crawling in the undercroft, no doubt plump enough for your liking.
[ even if Lestat comes from the future and knows Louis's upcoming choices, there are some (pathetic) ways Louis can still cling to the feeling of having control over his own life. ]
