Armand reasons. Being turned by an ancient monster reasons. Shit he tries to keep behind a locked door, shit Armand leaked to Louis, when Daniel really wishes he hadn't. Should he have screamed? Hoped that Louis would hear him, run back in, throw Armand off of him? But then he probably wouldn't be a vampire; Louis says he was going to offer it to him, but he didn't. He walked away and left him there.
Doesn't matter.
He tries, after a bit more silence—
"It's safety in numbers about the threats over the book, and Louis' shotgunned bet out into the night. Armand is..." What the fuck is Armand. "You're not a guard dog, Lestat, you're a person who's here because we all want to be here, together, you don't have to haul that weight around."
But. He touches his shoulder, or wherever is closest.
"Which is not an attempt to cut you out of Armand stuff. I'm just saying. This is a mess. I know he fucked up your life, too, and that you knew him earliest. I know you do have insight into him."
