Having secured this acquiescence, Louis says nothing immediately. Central Park is vast. They could spend a fair amount of time walking, if that's all they wish. Or Lestat has some trajectory in mind, some place he has discovered, and Louis will accompany him. He hasn't asked after the specifics of how Lestat wishes to spend the evening. Their shared company is enough.
Quiet long enough that Lestat would be forgiven for assuming Louis has thought better of what he was asking, given it up.
But eventually, "Have I burdened you with this? What I started?"
The book. The churn of outrage that followed immediately after, even before Louis made his challenge.
It is no lost on him that Lestat and Armand have both made the same point, the same roundabout observation about the dynamics of the fight as its occurred since Louis arrived in New York.
