This is not a helpful response, Louiee.

Except in the ways in which Lestat is informed about where and how to place his concern. Louis' gaze drops and Lestat shifts his attention, hands moving in to circle his wrists, tipping his head to try to capture his attention.

"I can't see into your mind," he says. A reminder, gentle. "You have to tell me what occurred there."

Or: Louis doesn't have to tell him anything, of course, but the demand comes soft, needful, a desire to be of use rather than a desire to simply be in control of things.
