#something something about doing lestat in a way antoinette won't ever be able to and making sure she knows it something something

Ooooooh yes. Literally fucking him in her house, where she can hear.

And it's so interesting with this leading into the magnus scene, how vulnerable Lestat looks, so beaten up (which, he's clearly loving it in this scene and they're both very into it) and kind of holding himself protectively, and Louis looking at him with more softness...

Also "Girl, love yourself" made me laugh out loud. Like, that man just told you to leave your own house without looking at you once so that his husband could fuck him in your house. I feel like all Carrie Fisher's friends in When Harry Met Sally trying to tell her that her married lover is never going to leave his wife.

Yeah, I find it really interesting that that scene leads into Lestat talking about Magnus for the first time. I talked about it a bit in this post, but I think it makes sense in terms of Louis feeling he's reclaiming a bit of power in getting Lestat to give, first physically then emotionally, after the drop, even if nothing's actually really changed.

And the fact that Antoinette does not dump him after that, she was in DEEP, haha.
