Daniel leans down. Gives Armand a look over the edge of his glasses.
(Is he going to kiss him?)
"You like the book."
Lestat is the tragic villain, and Armand is the one without redemption, forever lurking in the shadows like a spider. The most frustrating role. The coolest, most fucked up role. In a book that exposes everything that Armand is supposed to hate about his existence. Louis changed his mind, didn't want it to go out; Lestat hates it. But Armand, Daniel thinks, likes the book.
He straightens back up. Time to go do a murder.
He says goodbye to the store manager, and leaves. The man is seemingly forgotten, left to mill around for minutes on his own before he exits. He turns down the street and away, going the opposite direction that Daniel went. Off to catch an Uber. He will, of course, be intercepted. And Daniel has gotten okay at detecting cameras through sound. He'll have gone to the corner store, which doesn't have great security camera coverage, and then in a few minutes, he'll be back in the corner store, having never left. This man will be in an alley, bloodless, having suffered a heart attack, or something like that. Who knows.
