He resigns himself to his fate of being a chew toy. #LeSigh

Well. At least the coat is covering it.

His eyes widen slightly. “I am not sure I have ever heard you call me that before now.” Uncle, yes. Not Father.

“Malady of Goodness.” Or so Nicki called it.

He’s trying. In his own way . . . he is trying. His relationship with Claudia is complicated because his relationship with Louis is complicated. Plus, while he knows he should not have turned someone so young, he also can’t imagine a world without her now. She is his child. He knows that even ~

“All I have done . . . to Louis? Care to elaborate?”

“Hmm? Oh . . . nothing. I am fine.” Mostly fine.

Now who is the confident one?

And will she be trying to sell him a bridge in Brooklyn, too?

His poor, fragile heart.

How can she say that if they (maybe) never met?

And he is?

Not an adjective usually used to describe him.

Very.

He is fond of discovering them.

Mysterious.

Is very excited to meet @havilandbdavis.bsky.social. Or maybe . . . they already have. 😏

Has returned.

Is now being followed by chefs. 😂

This time, his sigh is for himself. “It is not with the intent of being petulant.” He just feels things deeply.

// Attempting to catch up both here and on @le-maitre.bsky.social tonight. But also making a beef burgundy like the real Frenchie I am. So multitasking!

He sighs. “What does it matter what I feel?”

Lestat rubs a hand over his face. For being an actor, he is absolutely horrific at hiding his emotions. But that might be because he simply feels them too deeply. The steady hand upon his shoulder brings him back, and he is grateful for it. “Forgive me . . . I think too much on the past ~

Lestat folds his arms and taps his foot. “I’m not . . .” He is.

How about those who are charming /and/ terrifying? Ahem.

That is actually a really accurate description. Still has the charm of a ball of lint.

“Well, he kept his little cult in the dark for centuries. Feeding them lies and enforcing rules that did not need following. Then he captured and tortured my lover — could make the argument he did that to two of them. And he killed my . . .” Lestat visibly tenses. “My fledgling. Claudia.”

“Would you like a list?”

“That is just how anomalies work.”

He /is/ precious. @brightreporter.bsky.social

Armand is as charming as a ball of lint.

Laughing, Lestat takes her hand and pats it before releasing her and continuing to walk. “I likely would have done more damage to the car than it to me.” Would it hurt? Sure. But he would have been fine. “Technically, the Norse lot are not immortal either. They are just very hard to kill. ~

He glances over when she asks her question. “Curiosity,” the vampire answers honestly. “It is something I have not done.” He has been an actor. A musician. An author even. This sort of work is new. “It might come as a surprise,” he says jokingly, “but immortals struggle with boredom.”

An echo it is. Then again, so is the warmth he gets from feeding. But he keeps that to himself. “Walking is fine by me. Please. Lead the way.”

“I do not mind. I like holding the cup.” He likes the warmth upon his hands and in the steam. Plus, it would help her. He can feel the tension building from that headache.

“I will . . . /watch/ you drink coffee,” he agrees with a nod. The vampire tries not to smile too much at her reaction — ones he had no doubt she imagines are subtle. Perhaps, to a human, they would be. “I can stomach human things better than most but . . .” Well, most can’t tolerate it at all.

He winces. “Not my style.” But it is his style not to shake her hand when he takes it but to kiss it. “Sorry,” he says, though he doesn’t appear sorry. “Not professional. Is that a demerit?”

Encourages.

Thought she was channeling Steven for a minute.

She should be insulted if he /doesn’t/ try anything. But truly — actually harming her is not his plan. The vampire holds out a hand. “Shall we do like the movies and shake on it?”

He understands and gives a little bow. “I shall do my very best.” Control is not the issue. He simply . . . sees rules a bit differently than most who feel bound to them.

He has never been accused of being boring, so he is glad to hear his record still stands.

*casually turns Armand’s cult followers into theater kids*

🤷🏼‍♂️

👈🏻 is more fun

Armand is a cult leader. Pass it on.

// Slowly catching up on replies 😂
