Louis lingers anyway, drawing out that last drag off his own cigarette for the pleasure of Lestat's undivided attention.
A moment where Louis wants to demand escort back to their hotel room. There is a mini fridge. They could pour drinks. Talk. Lestat broached the topic of the book apart from the spate of angry vampires seeking Louis' death. They could be done with the close crowding of the bar.
But Louis acquiesces. Stubs out cigarette.
"Lead the way," he agrees, gracious.
No need to overstep, mistake friendliness for something it isn't. They've been having a nice night. They can keep on having one, alongside Jeannie and Mark and Daniel.
