louis has barely spoken about armand even when given the chance to which is kind of strange considering how things left off in s2 (the lawyer scene and briefly in e6)

the auction scene in e1 - louis and armand are both missing body parts and i think it's for the same reason

more on the auction - louis is not afraid of armand in that scene at all. you would think if someone beheaded you and the love of your life you would not be that casual (i think it's lowkey flirty in an ex way but it's at least not hostile)

when louis went to the house to find bruce, they zoomed in on his machete on purpose - it is very similar to the machete in the armand teaser scene and they decided to linger the shot on both of those machetes

louis beheaded someone on the lawn of bruce's house - so louis knows beheading a vampire does not kill them and perhaps it's foreshadowing

louis has been with armand for 77 years, he def can feel armand coming from miles away. i think he was on the bench distracting lestat on purpose

armand has not apologized to louis which is odd considering that's probably one that people would expect which makes me think they have been in communication already
