#also lol at louis telling daniel they have access to his doctor and medical files within a minute of meeting him

[moppets]

rewatching the first 10 minutes of s1ep1 since the end of s2 and i'd forgotten that in the first five minutes they hint HARD that the end-goal for daniel was being turned. that's absolutely what he meant with "worthy of my story now". louis would let him hear his cautionary tale, they'd tell him they let him live out a full human life, and then turn him. it's absolutely how louis sold letting the interview happen to armand. louis just always had another card up his sleeve.

louis knew something was wrong with his life and he hid his fears behind the one person he knew armand could be distracted by.
