I came up beside [Louis] and took his hand. “What are you doing?” he asked. “Dancing with you,” I said.

And in the dead centre of the whispering gallery, I lost the thread to my plotting and fell once more into the well with no bottom.

Louis had been gravely hurt that Lestat had gone off to meet Rhoshamandes alone. So Lestat had promised never to do such a thing again.

[loustat quote bot @loustatquote]

I didn’t mean to let them do it, Louis…I mean that Santiago…that one, you know, he didn’t tell me what they planned to do.

Louis sat in a chair nearby, quietly resplendent in his Lestat-chosen clothes, the inevitable dark blue velvet jacket and the layers of tiny, subtle lace at his throat, and the emerald shining on his finger.

It wasn't shocking. It was perfectly consistent with his nature. He'd been told to do something, and, brat that he was, didn't like being told what to do.

“Will you let me be one who loves you now?” he asked, his voice once again infused with emotion, his face still deeply and tragically sad.

If anything in the world could have truly comforted me, he would have been the thing.

[loustat quote bot @loustatquote]

Be all the beautiful things you are, and be them without apology.

Louis knew what I couldn’t confide, and he was respectful of it, and comforting and patient. Louis never failed me.

“And by the way, I wasn’t born a monster! I was a born a mortal child, the same as you. Stronger than you! More will to live than you! That was cruel of you to say.” “I know. It was wrong. Sometimes you frighten me so badly I hurl sticks and stones at you.”

Now Lestat stood up and scooped her from the floor and came towards me. ‘She’s our daughter,’ he said. ‘You’re going to live with us now.’

[loustat quote bot @loustatquote]

Of course, you must realize that all this time the vampire Lestat was extraordinary. He was no more human to me than a biblical angel.

Louis knew what I couldn’t confide, and he was respectful of it, and comforting and patient. Louis never failed me.

I smiled to myself at that, his dressing for me. But from time to time he did, and when I saw that the shirt had antique buttons of gold and pearl, I knew that he had, and I accepted the way a sick man accepts a cool cloth on his forehead.

And then I ran my hands over his hair and his face, just letting myself really see him, as if he belonged to me. And he did the same.

[loustat quote bot @loustatquote]

This is Lestat. This is all of transformation and mystery, dead, gone into eternal darkness. I felt a pull suddenly, as if some force were urging me to go down with him, to descend into the dark water and never come back.

[loustat quote bot @loustatquote]

Before he reached the corner nearest the river, he turned around. He gave a little wave to me, and in that gesture there was more affection than in anything he had said.

[loustat quote bot @loustatquote]

And again came that thought: I have wronged Lestat, I have hated him for all the wrong reasons.

What would Christ need have done to make me follow Him like Matthew or Peter? Dress well, to begin with. And have a luxurious head of pampered yellow hair.
