Not because of the songs, all a far cry from anything that might have come from New Orleans over eighty years ago.
It is nostalgic to watch Lestat because it is as Louis remembers. Lestat stepping onto a stage he had so little business occupying and making it all his own, making the audience his own.
Yes, he is so annoying. Annoying and still—
Compelling. Magnetic. Louis feels as if the air he doesn't necessarily need to breathe thins. The room is warm and Lestat is singing and Louis has stopped his idle fidgeting with the damp cloth meant to be shrinking the bruising on his face.
Lestat looks at him and Louis smiles, a small pull of complicated reaction to the way Lestat shifts gravity beneath them.
Doesn't look anywhere but at him. Awareness expanded to keep track of the mortals around them, if anyone attempts to stage a mutiny, but without pressing distraction there is nothing more important to do but watch Lestat sing. Remember their lives together. Mourn it a little, maybe, even though that is not the purpose of this outing.
