No, Louis doesn't have to.

He doesn't have to be in New York at all. He could be in Dubai, in his tower, testing his new-found autonomy against any challenger that cared to heed his invitation.

He is here.

He is lowering himself down alongside the tub, testing the taps. Rachida has artfully arranged a number of bottles, various oils and lotions and soaps and shampoos and otherwise, and Louis is thinking about which suit Lestat.

"I can leave after it's ready," he is saying. "And you can soak."

Soak off blood and glitter in the privacy of Louis' bathroom. Lestat needn't feel obligated to test the outer limits of their tenuous friendship tonight.
