Daniel is not much of a hugger, but there's something about Louis, especially now, reunited after so long and seeing him on the path to understanding himself and being his own person, that has turned Daniel into one specifically for him. Another element of transformation, perhaps. Some small thing that Louis gets to keep for himself, even if the rest of it was accidentally sacrificed to Armand.

"For what, annoying the shit out of you? Making the other night awkward with your employees? Shut up."

This all sounds very affectionate, of course. A squeeze, and then they can settle wherever is most comfortable, and pretend to have paid any attention at all to the movie. Another joint shared between them, which truly does nothing without being indulged in through someone else's blood, but feels calming in a socially bonding way.

Nothing to do but enjoy the rest of their night, and presumably say hello to Lestat whenever he rolls back in from taking e-meetings and finding wee-hours meal.

(Until something feels off?)
