The handful of months spent in Paris had consisted of at least one appointment with Roget. The theatre destroyed meant a shuffle around in various portfolios. Reports of what had been extracted, including his final letter. Money, then, shifted into a kind of interest-accruing hibernation. The practical things, done at his behest.
But Lestat does not recall feeling resentment or anger or really much of anything at the time and now, certainly not. He starts to say something like what he used to say, to express that all his wealth is Louis' wealth, and stops. If this is true, what does that say for the reverse?
Maybe what Lestat is saying: I can look after myself.
Suspects he will have to, at some point, but for now—
"Then, if it would please you."
His tone says: if it would please Louis, it would please him too.
