Lestat just seems like a kid, sometimes. Daniel had said so to Louis. First impressions. Strangely childlike even in the midst of charisma and danger.

Daniel shifts towards him, squeezes his bicep in a way he hopes his comforting.

"Go easy on yourself, go easy on Louis. It's easy to be angry because we all feel so much, I know. But look. You can unwind from all that. And it's going to be okay."

The guy who Louis described dropping him from miles up in the air to crumble on impact, the guy who twelve hours ago made Louis step away from Daniel out if lizard-brain concern. Is the same guy who came to Daniel's rescue, who saved Louis from execution, who is crying on the sofa.
