She is here to confirm that Lestat can out diva everyone.

Propping her chin in her hands and watching the back and forth over who made them. How quaint.

Oh how she loves him.

"Pauvre bébé."

Spoiler alert- We don't care.

Her lads are keeping her quite entertained.

You are selling it pretty hard, Darling.

In their case, this is a very valid point.

But does it count if he bought it?

Also, how can she not laugh. "Your halo is crooked. And bent. Tarnished. Oh, and on fire." She blows him a kiss.

Darling, if you're going to tell lies, be a little more convincing.

Is not remotely surprised.

[There are times I am still ashamed that I still love him.] It hurts too much to admit it aloud, even after all this time. "I met him when I was a child. What he did to me was ... " She shrugs. Those in the mental health profession now would call it grooming. "But you." Her eyes darken. "At-

But I loathe him for what he did to you....

That was wholly unexpected. Not unwelcome, just... Unexpected.

Never would she pry into his mind. She would be appalled at such a thing. "You never need speak of anything you do not wish to, but you know I will only ever listen. I understand heartache. I understand betrayal." Resting her head against his, she whispers. "I still love Marius, and he has -

Her hand moves gently over his curls as she lets him speak. "There was much damage done then, I know." All of the hurt between him and Louis and Lestat. The damage may never be mended. "But no matter how thin the cord is stretched, you are still connected."

The upgrade is...what is it they say nowadays...hot.

"You would make a dashing one.' He is not as shallow as he has been portrayed to be. "Shall I go and get in trouble so you can rescue me?"

Pandora gives him a warm/ish/ ( as warm as a vampire is able) hug. "Because he knows he can, love. I think that deep down, there is a bond that neither of you care to admit or recognize." The bond is tumultuous and tempetuous, as well as volatile, but it's a bond.

"They generally try to fool themselves. If it makes you happy, we can give it a go."

She's sure he's heard "Lestat, yes." quite a bit.

"We can, but we're not fooling anyone."

He did NOT!!! She opens her arms.

Darling, we would never have a snowball's chance in Hell.

Which is, not hardly.

You're as innocent as I am.

He didn't write it on bathroom wall, did he? For a good time, call...

Her favorite brat.

And yet I adore you.

"We could suggest a sight seeing trip." It would /not/ be a pity if someone ended up falling into an active volcano, or was accidentally left outside. They can be creative.

@le-maitre.bsky.social "I know you and Lestat do not always see eye to eye, but..." She pauses. "I think a certain patriarch needs to leave. Permanently. What say you?"

Do it with a little more panache then. She winks.

Armand, no one likes a snitch. It's unbecoming Dear.

Always, Darling.

You misspelled cruelly beat.

Someone is jealous of their son. ...and intimidated.

They can share the load.

He does not have to put on a brave face for her. She is a safe harbor.

Which is why she will defend him, fiercely.

Is sassy. Saucy. Both.

My scribe is picking up breakfast-why is there is a techno dance party here? 👀

Did she ease a drunkard out of this world? She's seeing double.

Hence her shock.

Armand. Did he just say you are wonderful?
