"I'm older than you, Daniel," Louis reminds patiently. "I can rest tomorrow."
Rachida has left them with two mugs of blood. A tablet to watch this entire process in it's excruciating totality.
Louis thumbs over the little flares of a coven, of wayward vampires. Dismissing them in turn, skeptical of their involvement. Nice to know where and who circulates in this space, but Louis senses nothing malevolent. Maybe that would change if they recognized him, but—
No. They are moving unaware. No sign of circling wagons. Whatever is holding Lestat is something else. A different kind of fight to manage.
The connection between Louis and Armand is all shattered glass, razor wire, sharp points tangling around what once was. Louis toys with it anyway. Does not ask Daniel, but wonders if he'll have to seek help. If this is someone whose age outstrips Lestat, someone capable of posing a real problem. Who else would be able to hold him? Who else would be able to block them from touching Lestat's mind? Someone old.
Louis is thinking on his own contingencies. Considering that he will need to drink something livelier than a donation before he goes.
"Try," is the encouragement he offers Daniel. "I'll wake you if something happens, I promise."
