update to La Reine Claudia, in which Lestat and Louis are corralled into an arranged marriage so that Claudia can be born as foretold and save everyone's ass.
โLouis, Claudia's favorite color is yellow.โ
โโฆYellow.โ
โYes, right? Who knew. Green I understoodโobviously. Butโฆโ
โWell, itโs just not a very nocturnal color.โ
โLouis, do you blame my human heritage? Could this be my fault? Sheโll never see the sun, butย Iย did, and not that long ago, relatively speaking.โ
โThe sun as a spectacle is overrated, and yellow is very much a nocturnal color,โ Armand intoned, managing to type on his phone and talk at the same time. โIt is arguablyย the mostย important color in the nighttime: yellow is the color that stands out. The glow of lanterns, tungsten lightbulbs, fire, streetlights, headlights. The shine of gold in the shadows. It is the color of her birth parentโs hair. And, yes, it is the color that burns us. It is a most sophisticated choice.โ
Louis and Lestat looked at each other for a moment. โOh.โ
โYou do make a good case.โ
Armand did not look up from his phone.
โArmand, is yellowย yourย favorite color?โ
