There is a tiny crack in the proverbial door, in which Daniel could feel jealous— he's been trying to get Louis out of the tower for a while now, but it took Lestat to get Louis to do it. Do it pretty quickly, in fact.

But he doesn't push the door open. He's just grateful. It's clear they both need this, and Daniel is happy they're able to, happy Louis found a reason to shift, get a different perspective on the outside world. Dubai is an artificial bubble even if he did ever go down for a walk out among the humans.

"He was picking his moment, fashionably."

Helping.

And now— Ah! Jeannie and Mark are up. Daniel will do his level best not to take out his phone like somebody's dad, but he will fail in about thirty seconds.
