Nicolas should abbreviate to Nico not Nicky, but I don't remember Anne Rice being a native Francophone. If Sam said Nico though, half the fandom would be like what that's wrong.

Tries to imagine Tom Cruise with a dialect coach trying to sound French or Auvergnat while speaking English or switching into French while angry and dies. You never forget Tom Cruise is Tom Cruise.

Je suis le vampire Tom Cruise. Je mange les Californiennnes. Ca vaLes dents sont blancs & parfaits

What if Lestat hired an accent coach to sound like a Californian as part of his human disguise because people got tripped up by him sounding like Humphrey Bogart but French?

Imagine it being the 1980s and you are so French you hire someone to teach you how to sound like a a Simi Valley girl or Keanu Reeves.

And the because you don't sound like Pepe le Pew with an accordion in tow, no American ever thinks you were French speaking.

Mon ami auvergnat

ne se soucie pas

du qu’en dira-t-on

des conventions.

Mon ami auvergnat

vend jeux ou tabac

à toute tête brune ou blonde

à la ronde

Mon ami auvergnat

sert à tour de bras

calva et alcools

avec ou sans faux-col.

Mon ami auvergnat

ne s’emmerde pas

de savoir s’il a le droit

ou pas

Ici, le client est roi,

pubère ou pas

mais il faut consommer

sinon vous dégagez

de chez

mon ami auvergnat.
