"Yeah, I got the address. I can talk it over if you want. No 'in an hour or we'll all explode' rush, it'll keep."

At least for a day or two. If Louis lets him, Daniel will coordinate, so he doesn't have to sit there and play telephone about how many dead humans need to be swept up. But not right this minute, when Lestat seems another minute's worth of inattention away from crawling along the ceiling, and Louis looks like he could use the distraction of something that's not murder.

So—

Daniel nearly makes a nepo baby joke, but it feels like evoking somebody he shouldn't, even after Lestat did. Instead over the maniacal laughter he says, "The musician, the actor, the visionary, the burgeoning rock star, the hunter, the very safe and lawful driver. I meant it, I had a good time."

And that is sincere. Not everything has to be mindless fun to enjoy it, though there was some of that, in the killing. A whole new life to learn. More experiences to take apart.
