Lestat being calmer is good. Lestat being in a position to put on something clean and soft is good. But how is Louis? Daniel is aware he's not being especially sensitive in the face of Louis' instinct to shut down and withdraw, but Daniel is utterly unskilled at being sensitive to that kind of behavior, unfortunately. He can't cope with it. They're not conducting an interview anymore, he can't devote two weeks of poking and prodding and cajoling, he just has to move forward.
Still. He's aware.
Sacrifices get left in the garage for now, locked in the back of his car. Not worried about screams for help; punctures through their necks, carefully hitting but not severing the larynx, will prevent it. Off to find a change of clothes for Lestat, and he grabs a robe and pajamas, which he carts to the bathroom while deliberately making his footsteps audible so that he's not sneaking up on anyone.
"Alright." Here. "Do you feel up to a hike down to the garage, or should I bring them up here? It's not a problem either way." He looks at Louis, adds, "You don't have to be in the room. I texted Rachida, it's handled, so."
Shrug. He didn't involve them in the actual grab, but he's spent enough time around Louis' employees by now to know they can clean up once he rolls the bodies into their care.
