Daniel considers asking if he does actually want to do any of it. If without the book and Louis being in danger, would he prefer to just live quietly, and work on his relationship. If Daniel has fucked it all up.
But he doesn't particularly want to hear the answer. A rare instance of trapping himself with questions, a funny feeling he hasn't experienced in a while. Of course it's brought on by Lestat. Regardless, his pause before response goes on for longer than it should. Thinking of all that. Thinking of moving faster towards the promise he made Armand.
Thinking of Armand.
"Yeah."
He doesn't regret the book. Louis owed him, for leaving him there with Armand. They're even.
"Do you..."
Another trap. Again: of course it's Lestat. Daniel sighs, then nods towards what looks like a decent potential victim. A truck driver decompressing after a radio argument with his dispatcher. Troubled employment, and an impending walk to blow off steam.
