I saw… a city in the clouds.

i will slow them down long enough for you to get out. jade, please don't do this. your children deserve to go home.

Louis sees Lestat as this primal force of nature who looks like a romance novel hero, can effortlessly control any room, is "preternaturally charming," impeccably turned out, no one can say no to him for long.

but we get in LESTAT'S head, and suddenly he has scars and a tangled mane of hair, people are constantly talking over him, he sweats, he's getting beat up and his clothes are getting destroyed in a non-sexy way, he's flailing around wildly with NO idea what he's doing, people (lestat included) think he's untalented and annoying.

And LOUIS, well. Louis clearly sees himself as uncanny, reserved, compelling but a little off-putting. He is other: cut-off from humanity, holding his emotions and relationships at arm's length.

There's a quote I love. I got it up here in cross-stitch. So, I'm gonna read it to you... "The world is violent and mercurial. It will have it's way with you..." Can't read that, can't read that part, can't—can't read—oh, here! Here it is... "We live in a perpetually burning building, and what we must save from it all the time is love."

“Liar.”

I may not have 30 years. But I think I have another hour.
