@dancedthrough sent : [ tie ] sender helps receiver with their tie, either by putting it on or adjusting it

lestat is utterly delighted when fiyero reaches to adjust his tie– can barely contain the pleased smirk that graces his features as deft hands straighten it out. 'such a gentleman,' he purrs, 'how did i get so lucky?' he reaches to tug the other man in by his lapels, just a little closer, making an excuse by smoothing them out. 'there. now you're ready.'

[lamourt]

rich coming from him, really. lestat gets lost in the fantasy, sometimes, that he is not who he is. for no matter how he has changed, he is still the man who hurt the people he loved– the people he was supposed to love– all those years ago. he will never be free of what he did to them. nor should he be. and if that notion flickers over his expression, then he can only hope genevieve doesn't notice. should she have any desire to take him to bed, she need never know those parts of him.

the sweet roaming of her eyes– almost innocent�� is soothing as it goes over him. maybe he can't be good, not at his core. but he can be sweet. he can be beautiful. and in fact it would be a privilege to be that for her; to be, for a moment, someone who could even begin to deserve a woman so enchanting. but something in the air changes and he lets the fantasy slip gently past. he is more than happy simply to converse with her as they fall into step beside one another. still, her manner is so utterly lovely.

'the pleasure is all mine, i assure you.' he offers her a smile, genuine admiration in his eyes. 'you run a truly remarkable establishment. i won't be able to speak highly enough of it.'

the question isn't one many ask with such earnestness– where lestat has come from, and why. so often it is mere polite conversation before more... intimate matters are discussed. ( yet isn't that all by his own doing? )

still, he is touched.

'no, not for business at the moment. i, ah...' a painful twinge to his heart as he thinks of the azalea, the joy felt there and the anger– the boiling jealousy, the fierce pride, the chaotic grasp for attention, control, something. 'i tend not to involve myself in it any longer. i am the most silent of silent partners these days.' his expression brightens as he recovers himself. 'no, i've taken it upon myself to explore more of the country i have come to call home, her cities.'

considering genevieve has only had one lover, she didn't think she had enough experience to answer. with rose, however, she had made sure the other woman felt love and cared for in every way imaginable, showed her attention and gave her the respect she did, indeed, deserve. after a moment of gazing at one another, genevieve's features soften that much more, enticed by both his looks and the tenderness of his words. 'yes — i would have to agree,' as often as she tried to keep her thoughts from wandering, genevieve can't help but to wonder how many lovers lestat has had in his lifetime. surely an inappropriate thought, one she would keep to herself, but something she can't help but to think, all the time. such a handsome creature; it was hard to believe he hasn't gotten anyone or anything he's ever wanted. then again, genevieve understood that being beautiful wasn't entirely positive. sometimes, it came with being seen as a object, a trophy to be won and put on a shelf. there were so many things she wanted to know about him, but now didn't seem like the time to ask.

she waits for lestat to stand, ushering him forward with a manicured hand, only to follow him out the door and step into his stride. she's barely taller than him in her boots, heels adding five inches for her to leverage, if needed. it was nice to look him in the eyes, this way, though she couldn't keep her gaze on him for too long, unsure if she could hide the intrigue portrayed there. 'it is a pleasure to have you here, monsieur de lioncourt,' genevieve states genuinely, trying to keep her tone professional, though it may briefly drift into one of admiration. she leads him up the grand staircase toward a short hallway with several locked rooms. she walks slowly, perhaps wanting to elongate this time they had together. 'what brings you, if you do not mind me asking? to the city, to my lounge . . .' hands clasp in front of her form as she stops in front of one of the suites, turning to glance at lestat once more. 'pleasure, of course, but may it also be for business?'

INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE 02.03 | No Pain

[lamourt]

@lamourstre sent : [ lean ] sender rests their head on receiver's shoulder

Dark curls brush unexpectedly against his neck and a little twinge goes to his heart. It is easy to forget that no matter how powerful Armand may be, he is just as wounded as anyone– perhaps more. "It was never that I didn't love you, you know," Lestat says softly. The words hang there quietly for a moment. The dressing room is still, now, empty of the bustle and chaos that comes before a performance. Of course, it will all begin again tomorrow for the last show here before the band leaves for the next stop– Chicago, he seems to remember someone mentioning.

For now, though, let the two of them exist here.

He isn't sure what else to say, if he should say anything at all. Instead, he simply rests a hand on Armand's knee, squeezing gently. Perhaps the gesture will better express what he feels than he can.

[lamourt]

Are you a “can’t write dialogue” writer or a “can’t describe anything” writer

[lamourt]

i am once again thinking about lest@t reckoning with the fact that he's done one of the worst things a person can ever do

[lamourt]

Okay no but rock star lest@t performing oh! you pretty things and absolutely D E L I V E R I N G but then you see he’s crying once the song ends (not bc he’s sad but bc he’s like very moved by the like visible queer celebration going on in the pit and the stands etc etc)

[lamourt]

Lestat smiles softly, treasuring the gentle sound of Louis' laugh. "A part of my nature I can't seem to outrun."

It still takes his breath away, looking into Louis' eyes, the enchanting jade of his irises, just as beautiful as the rich brown they had been before the dark gift. But something in his heart breaks to hear the word 'worse.'

"Not from where I'm standing," he murmurs. "I suppose I can't claim to know. But your 'worse,' Louis, is far better than so many bests. That I do know."

He wants so badly to reach out and touch his face, to do something to soothe the storm he knows hovers around Louis' heart. "I'd like to think I'm better. I've been trying to be. I don't know what shape it would take, if we..." But maybe if Louis hasn't named it, neither should he. "But I do think it would be something beautiful."

Louis chuckles, although there's an ache in his chest as he does. "Of course you would. Always been reckless."

He lifts his head from Lestat's shoulder to look at him directly. He's still close, still moving with him to the music, but if they're going to talk like this he has to look at him.

"But what would make it any better than before? The two of us knowing each other again... I'm not any better than I was."

His brow furrows, thinking about those fragments of memories coming back together since that conversation with Daniel, since Armand's been gone. The way grief molded him into something he doesn't always recognize, doesn't always like. Into something that scares him sometimes.

He doesn't want to believe he really told Armand to alter his memories, but the more he remembers, the more he thinks maybe he did. "I think I might be worse."
