Oblivious to this particular internal struggle, the scrutiny Louis levels Lestat-wards in the wake of this muted reply seeks more to measure this against all that's been said before. To try and discern if Lestat is being kind, even in the wake of Louis' request for honesty.

An unconscious tightening of his arm in Lestat's. Holding him a little closer, a little more securely, as they follow the loop of the path. As Louis tries to find something to say, dredge something light from beneath all his worries, beneath the weight of his conversation with Armand, what Armand left him to contemplate.

Eventually, Louis dredges up a question. Not so subtly diverging away from heavier topics.

"What now, Lestat?" swings towards lightness, an attempt being made. "Any last thing you wanna see tonight?"
