It's been a long time, a very long time. Are you sure you want to do this again? Didn't we part ways after the final book, you moving on to those Japanese animations and leaving me behind? NO no, I am not emotional. I simply do not wish to be drug back through a ringer for nothing.

Do not dare seek 'cast mates.' I would rather be alone.

...stop laughing this instant.

[ Lestat's gone, off to the Auvergne with the inner circle of his newly minted royal court, back to his childhood castle, and Louis really does want to follow him ('I'll be with you soon') but he's oddly exhausted despite finding something content within himself. The brooding is done, leaving behind a man who simply misses the company of his greatest love. Armand has Marius back at Trinity Gate which begs the question, with whom does Louis now belong?

So, looking wearied but smart in a worn, comfy long black frock-coat, he folds his arms against that self-made tiredness and refuses to be lonely. ]

Lestat needs time to settle his mind with Amel, no matter how radiantly commanding he's become. Time will see us together again.

gentil

Of course I love him. He, our Brat Prince so aptly named by Marius — how could I not? After he became human and I refused him the Blood, we made our peace once David was amongst us. Without his strength that now courses through my veins, I would never again have opened my eyes from the husk I became when he found me charred and grotesque in our Rue Royale quarters after Merrick's audience with Claudia's soul. [ Louis's voice is soft and a little offended, to be honest. ] Do you think me so shallow a creature as to be locked inside every facet of the past I ever penned? Yes, we argued. Yes, I angered.

But he is one of my Great Loves, for better or worse. Daniel, perhaps, could say the same of Armand were he lucid these days.

[ Thoughtfully, quietly, he folds an arm around and rests curled fingers by his lips. ]

Even if I wanted to languish in the past, as I sometimes do when my attention for the current month falls to the wayside, I could never loathe him again. That was done a long time ago. [ In a calm unhurried undertone, he reinforces, ] I speak of my heart, a subject not easily swayed.

[ And if you listen very closely, you'll hear the note of a threat against anyone insisting they know the workings of his heart better than Louis himself. Even the gentlest vampire banks an irate temper, when pushed. ]

Kindly leave the topic alone.

The chase has been fun, but it's time for you to submit. We could do wonderful things together. Atteindre paradis et de divertir sans regrets.

[ He feels as dusty as his books, but every well-read book needs to be cleaned off every now and again, doesn't it? ]

So we return here. An inconvenience? No. Time is something I find that I am burdened with in grand abundance. Though I cannot help but recall that the last...endeavour that you undertook could hardly be considered pleasant.

[ No, in fact it had been a scene of depravity and consequently the blessing of almost humanity mixed with something far less desirable. Nothing that he wants to revisit. ]

Do not yet name me a willing accomplice, I still have my reservations. At your insistence, if this is to be then what would you have me do?

gentil

I'm not so certain all those other vampires you know of would welcome me and mine. After what happened to Merrick, I've no desire to quarrel with strangers or to use my new gifts to fight off even newer enemies. I will, if you push me, but I would rather not. Then there is Quinn and Mona to consider, the youngest of us should not be without guidance ...

There are so many Blood Drinkers these days, I confess that I can hardly keep up with their swelling numbers. They would think me a liar if I revealed my identity or perhaps know nothing of us at all, beyond Lestat's name.

The latter is preferable.

talamascan

Dear girl, you desperately need to do a 'canon-review' if you're to be putting me out here like this. I'm not a one-book chap with no personality you can simply make up as you go along. I have a considerable amount of human history (and a fair amount of vampiric for having only been one a short time) and a number of connections with other immortals. It may be a good idea to brush up on those.

Also, shall I say? The username you chose.. it is not remotely humorous. That life is.. behind me, now.

enfant

You would have thought that at least one of so many obliging Blood Drinker allies would have provided me with a real meal. Frozen the packets may be, but the blood is only one step away from being dead.

I suppose you think this is funny. What irony, almost on a par with Lestat's humor.

gentil

What do you expect of me? Let us part ways before we truly begin, I cannot do this. I do not want to be subjected to it. It's as incorrigible an idea as it is ludicrous, there lies nothing for you to achieve and even less for me to care for.

How many times must I protest, mademoiselle? I do have forever.

smirkingly

Ah, ah, ah …

You think it wise?

[ And despite his initial chagrin, there’s a flicker of amusement in those dark eyes, lips curling into a smirk, revealing a flash of fang. ]

You might want to ... watch your step, shall we say? After all, as clichéd as it may sound — I’m different. Quite unlike that broken boy you seem to be so fond of these days.

[ Taking a moment to run the tip of his tongue deliberately over sharp teeth, he hums in thought. ]

The last thing you ought to be doing … is tempting me.

Do I look like Baby New Year to you? Beat it.

Oh, mundane, don't act so surprised. You and I both knew you wouldn't be able to ignore me for very long. A shame to see London in such a state, though I'll relish the opportunity to brighten the place up again. Those poor mortals must be so depressed without a god to worship.

enfant

Keep writing. I should like to go where I was promised as soon as possible.

agodintheopen

Buffy will be there? The same Buffy from the previous place you tormented me in? And... She will remember me?

I suppose I should thank you for this, mundane. I have missed her terribly. But even you remember how dysfunctional our relationship was.

Don't ruin this for me a second time, mundane.

enfant

I shall die a thousand deaths before you ever commit, I suppose. How absolutely predictable.

Who are the other vampires in residence? I very much care to acquaint myself with them, especially if their nature is widely known. My dear fathers would never have approved of such dalliances.

errersansbut

A piece of home to keep me company during my first few days in space? They'll die within the first two, I'm certain. Chrysanthemums are lovely flowers, but they've no place with me there and the Feast of All Saints is more than a handful of months from now, mon cher.

[ his lips thin into a line, the corners twitching with the threat of a frown. ]

Perhaps if I press them, I can return them to their rightful places when I return, but I would rather you resist this temptation and grant me a mere moment's peace. You've my compliance as always, but let us begin this venture on the so-called "good foot".

agodintheopen

Always the whimsical one, aren't you, my dear mundane?

enfant

I don't want to be anywhere without Louis. Who are these new little monsters you keep trying to drum out of the woodwork so that we might appear en masse? New vampires, my people who have never known us that you think will hold me pacified with their mere presence. Children by comparison.

I shall tell you a secret; if you force me into their company, I will kill them and I will enjoy it.

aureate

You know I will miss Nuala and Edward if they cannot bring themselves to follow. Meta the hell of out them, babydoll, bring me my greatest loves! God's teeth, Quinn would be the sweetest of gifts to me here even if that little hellion Mona dragged on his heels. Take Claudia to me! Take Marius and throw him toward these open arms, he'll be weeping within the week if I disappear for too long, no matter the scathing sweetness his red devil whispers by way of comfort. You know how they are, ma chérie, we'll have to rock on either way.

So!

New coat, crushed velvet in cobalt, silver embroidery of arabesques all down the front in the old-style. You'll give it to me, won't you? You know it. Chantilly soaked into my new silk shirts over here in memory of Aunt Queen, the old darling was a rave of inspiration for us all. Bring me home to myself if nowhere else, sweetheart, do it as fast as possible or I couldn't bear the most minor of accented differences.

I want Louis, he must be here. He must be with me.

You're ripping apart a family and it isn't endearing in the slightest, watch out for your own personal Goblin. I'd call it your conscience.

Dear Mun . . .

I think we have issues.
