Summary
Lestat loosens her necktie, slips it off over her head. It looks disturbingly like a noose, in her hands, the slippery silk knot still intact. Lestat should’ve been guillotined a century and a half ago. She’s taller than Armand, so she can drop the rope of fabric around her neck without waiting for Armand to duck her head. It would be a pointless recitation of submission anyways, when Armand could’ve stopped her already a hundred times over, and Lestat isn’t crafty or patient enough to make her perform it. Impatient as always—too impatient to untie the thing and retie it for Armand, that’s what Armand would do if she were dressing Louis. But Armand isn’t playing Louis.
“You may as well look the part,” Lestat says, and shanks the knot up to Armand’s throat.
Armand and Lestat rehearse the trial. Armand plays understudy. Lestat plays puppeteer.
