Yes, to Louis making good use of Lestat's gift. What do you buy for the man who's got everything? Socks? A book! How lovely that Louis doesn't just read it but uses it like a road map. Love the idea of playing with Lestat's body as if it's an instrument. Cello, perhaps? He's too big to be a violin.
Typical Lestat that he picks up on Louis's word 'Rules' and totally changes it to his advantage.
I burst out laughing over the goldfish crackers! And this line made me swoon:
His long fingers skim around my shoulder, digging as carefully as an archaeologist gathering artifacts.
Two men could harm each other badly, two vampires could rip each other apart, so moments of gentleness like this are very touching.
Sooo glad that you didn't try to stick to the DD word limit :)
