I can't stop thinking about Louis and Armand Rahsid roleplay. With the knowledge that Rashid is actually Armand, to me Louis feels almost playful and teasing in the "master" role. "You're lingering Rashid", you're in your twenties, right Rashid?", making up the flavor if his blood in response to Daniel's thoughts, he just seems to like poking at Armand and I think it's also Louis going offscript because it seems that every time he does this, Armand is a little put out like "this isn't what we rehearsed why do you keep doing improve >:(("

But you can also tell that Armand is keeping a close eye on things, checking in with Louis and even intervening when he feels Louis is losing control/Daniel is unraveling something that he shouldn't. He's protective, he seems so angry at times, ans yet the interview continues and he stays Rashid until he feels that the situation is too out of hand for him to stay back anymore- it's specifically Daniel poking at Louis' recollection of Lestat's death that pushes him over the edge. He doesn't like that Daniel's pushed him so far. And then in the trailer. There's no more of that playful Louis anymore, he's hunched up and small and Armand has a lazer gaze on him. They're just so.
