It's true that Armand has sometimes enjoyed their conversations, but could Daniel shut the fuck up for a moment so he can think—
No, obviously. That's not part of it. Armand considers biting down on a few of those things, quibbling after the likelihood of Lestat deeming Daniel a spy anymore now than he might have before, some snarky stupid thing about how well Louis might appreciate Daniel's stellar review of his capacity to form meaningful friendships or ability to withstand Lestat's charm offensive, and on and on.
He would sound insufferable to even himself, talking about them. Louis, Lestat, Louis, Lestat. Burning a bright sunlit hole in his brain when he allows them to, just by existing. That Daniel is so tangled with them in this present moment, a source of irritation.
So. Fuck them, and the situation Daniel has made for himself.
"I'm luring you somewhere that I can assist in your restoration," still snippy. "Given you find it so hard to believe that I hadn't intended to inflict lasting damage because your current roommates might tear out your spine at any provocation."

Just the normal, fleeting kind of damage.
