Side-stepping Louis' fans. (Fans, critics, Louis is certain their chosen method of expression when it comes to their opinions of him will be identical.) Side-stepping what Louis may or may not choose to endure.
This, the promise they're making, feels like it'd fit in the palm of Louis' hand. Already, Louis worries over it. Over how they'd keep it once Lestat makes good on his intentions. Once Louis returns to Dubai. (When. This too, a growing certainty, even if Louis has said nothing aloud.) Will Lestat find someone else to hold his attention, easy in all the ways Louis is not and never has been?
"Been enduring long enough," he says instead, as the path slopes downward and his grip on Lestat's arm tightens. "You should have something good now."
