Summary
“Are you sure he wants to teach me?” Armand’s voice brought Lestat out of his spiral. Still standing by the stage, tracking Nicki’s movements as if he may intervene at any moment and do what, Lestat did not know. “He’s not part of this little troupe you’re designing.”
“For one night only, yes, I think he’ll indulge me because he feels badly about leaving me,” Nicolas’ voice was so matter of fact and it hurt more to hear the lack of emotion to it. “As if he didn’t leave me the moment he was absconded from our bed, as if he didn’t do it again when he chose to lie and make me doubt myself, as if he hasn’t been leaving me with every fucking success he’s had. He’ll give you tonight because I’m saying that he will and because then he can pretend none of it is true like a good little monster.”
Lestat tries to say goodbye on better terms and it goes about as well as you might expect.
