Splits attention in these moments between Daniel's progress through halls and rooms, and the wash of suds down Lestat's back, the conditioner rinsed from his hair. He can feel Lestat come alert under his hands, observing the progress of healed wounds.
And then Daniel, the door opening. An offering clearly made out of deference to Louis' sensibilities, and his expression in response is inscrutable. He turns instead, hooking the shower attachment back onto the wall.

"Thank you," to Daniel. For kidnappings. For coming back too, maybe.
Anticipating some kind of dismissal so Lestat can dress, moving towards the door.
