A measuring kind of quiet.

Louis doesn't like it, the way Daniel says this about himself. Doesn't like the way he devalues his story, himself alongside it.

"Saying that like you ain't listened to me making the same mistakes over and over," Louis points out.

Daniel knows everything. Saw everything, even when Louis hadn't. But Louis can't exactly boast that kind of insight. Can't pretend he'd offer anything other than his own desires, the wish to know Daniel as Daniel knows him.

Nothing else, for a beat after that. Louis' eyes trace the crack in the ceiling, the shadows cast by the light.

"I don't want you to forget it all," he whispers. "I know you gonna be your own vampire, but don't lose the rest."
