and god that really is such an…insane way to showcase gabrielle’s distancing from being lestat’s mother after her turning. going from taking lestat to the witches’ place to watch someone burn, which lestat mockingly described as what moms did, to when we get to the story of nicki’s death, lestat makes it known that gabrielle wasn’t there. she went to coffin. she didn’t do what moms would do, what she herself had done in the past. she went to coffin. she’s not lestat’s mother anymore, why would she stand and watch?
