+33 189 480 496: I still love you. I never stopped.

Daniel Molloy: I can't imagine a worse occasion to have to ask this, but who is this?

Of all the people on earth that Daniel would ever guess to be on the other side of a text like that? Alice is at the bottom of the list. She walked out on them, leaving a little girl alone with her junkie dad who didn't know how to cope without the love of his life. Why would it be her? That'd be insane.

(But of course, Armand knows he that is insane. He has always been insane with the extremes to which he will go for the ones he loves. Daniel simply cannot recall that detail or so many others about their relationship. At least, not at the moment.)

The daughter he wept over is not.

His other daughter is not.

His second daughter is not.

People killed: around three quarters of a million.

Tell him the truth.

Tell him what you did to him.

Tell him about your addiction.

Tell him how you’ve harmed him.

Because you didn’t tell him. You have not told him yet.

And if you don’t tell him it will be Louis and the trial all over again.

Tell him. Tell him what you did and what of his life you are actually talking about you liar.

He could have told him, left the thought unguarded. He never does, not at any point. He keeps Marius from Armand. And Armand for all his wretchedness gets to be an independent orphan vampire, just like Lestat. Free of the maker who raped him into existence, just like Lestat.

I believe that is a gift given by Lestat from the solidarity they two share. I believe that Lestat would call it cruelty but he did before the play and did it to a maker who would abandon his child, a feeling that Lestat is familiar with, and speak so of said child, language that Lestat is also familiar with.

Jury's out on how much we should believe that, especially since later, Marius spots Armand in his Children of Darkness phase in Paris and decides he's not worth rescuing, because he "forgot all Marius had taught him" and gave into the "darkness" inside him (one of the ongoing threads was Marius' disdain for Armand's history of deep faith as Andrei [in the books he was from the area near Kiev]). Instead of, you know, having been kidnapped, tormented, and brainwashed into a cult.

What’s cool is that he’s playing a G clarinet, which is mostly pretty rare, but is used for a lot of Balkan, Turkish, and Roma traditional music. Look how long it is!
