No comment, on Armand's whereabouts. It twists in Daniel's insides. Somewhere near there, but he doesn't want to say it aloud. He watches Louis for a bit, then looks back at Lestat.

"You attacked him," Daniel echoes, a confirmation. "Why? I get that you have motivation, he's the worst. I don't mean that. Were you looking for him? Did he call to you? Was he standing out by the docks talking shit, challenging you to a duel for Louis' hand?"

Did Armand come to Burlington for this. Was it this all along, did he lose his patience, decide that whatever long con he made vague plans with Daniel for wasn't worth enacting. Was he here for Louis, was he he just waiting for them to be somewhere less populated than New York.

(Is he alive.)
