A gesture, to the barrier between foyer and living room and stairwell. Drops his hand. Anyway.
"I'll wait outside."
And he's leaving, the brisk clip of neat shoes on shining wooden floors, passing by the real estate agent who doesn't appear to see him, but is standing up, hands pinching the bridge of his nose. Disoriented, some muscle strain from even a comfortable but unmoving position twinging down his back, headache raging, but does not appear to think much else is strange, or clock that he just stood up from a seated position on the floor.
And Daniel is a vampire. He can do what he wants with the guy, be it discuss the house or send him obliviously on his way with muddled memory or death. But here, Armand (on a delay, granted) invites that bit of distance, recalibration. He will head off the property, he will move to the street. He imagines this area will be quite loud during the day, but it won't matter when Daniel commits to sleep.
Considers that Daniel's house hunt is not his concern. Considers that this is simply a part of his brain he has a difficult time switching off. Considers the lack of stars in the sky, and waits.
