Summary
"Because it is not the mask or the costume, it is who you are. My impudent, mercurial yet glibly brilliant Arlecchino."
Armand has no doubt he looks pathetic like this, wide-eyed, not even caring to take an ornamentary breath, he doesn't think he could even if he was still mortal, not in this moment where everything lies between Lestat's lips. He waits for his reaction, the thing that will make or break his dreams.
Lestat laughs. It is a little thing, nervous, agitated even perhaps as he tries to take a step back and widen the impossibly small distance between them.
"Look at you, wicked creature you are! With the way you speak one would think you are about to say you are poor love-struck Columbine!"
*****
Armand has set his set his sights on Lestat and has no choice but to make a frantic confession to him backstage after Lestat brings forward the idea of Theatre Des Vampires during one of his shows. It does not go quite as either expected when Armand resorts to taking desperate measures.
