Before they end up at the counter so he can make a genial comment about putting his son-in-law (this will be his excuse for everyone, forever, probably) onto a new line, Daniel is going to make him get an extra charger and over-ear headphones, as well. Not because he is an old man who thinks earbuds are bullshit (though those things are also true), but he thinks the tiny free ones that every phone comes with will get lost too easily, and sound quality is infinitely superior with the old fashioned clunkers. Here, Sharky, you're a music guy, try these on.
An incredible question. Vampires are funny. Daniel smiles a little, but it's small. Private.
"Because you were kind to me, Lestat."
He literally saved him, and then spoke to him for a while and answered his questions, had dinner, helped dispose of the body. Daniel would have been curious anyway, perhaps enough to be placating, maybe helped him out of a sense of self-preservation (does he have one of those?), or just endless reckless decision-making to be in the orbit of someone he knows very well committed heinous and prolonged abuse. But here we go, the boring, ordinary, regular person truth of it, is that sometimes the mundane western interpretation of karma is real. Normalcy. Lestat was nice to him. So now, Daniel is nice in return.
