After? he's finished? his compositions?, and then we'll see? For a portrait???
Lestat lifts their linked hands, brushes a kiss to Louis' knuckles, and says, "I don't agree to those terms, but we can reopen negotiations in due course. Come," and he gets to his feet, keeping Louis' hand, pulling him up off the bench with easy strength, and still not letting go once this is done. "Let's visit Giuseppe Verdi's monument and give our thanks for the nice evening out."
And it is a nice evening. A comfortable chill in the air that reminds Lestat of former homes before New Orleans, not unpleasantly. An opera, a gift, an absolution.
