#Armand performance stoic elegance in a way Florence would’ve eaten up and there’s no way that doesn’t disturb Louis at least a little

Honestly upon pilot rewatch no. 638382 I feel like Lestat’s dinner outburst was entirely justified and reveals more about the pointe du lc family than it does him. Yes I’m curious as to what he said to Paul telepathically but based on what he said out loud he just sounded very reasonably triggered by Paul’s very intentional targeting. I think the pointe du lac family mainly bc of Florence over values prestige and the performance of it. There’s no room for emotionality and lestat’s very honest reveal of his own trauma may have been a hair too real for the de pointe du lacs. I think he loses their favor not because of his temper but because he seems erratic and baggage heavy in relation to the performance they’ve committed to. I feel like that’s partially why Lestat and Louis work so well. For better or for worse they give each other space for these big emotions to come out
