Across the street, and over a block. A little park in the middle of the city.
The ways he has helped fledglings who stumble into his hands has been different. Show them how to hide, how to behave, and then burn them to nothing if they refuse. If they fail to adapt, or fail to break it all like a single one of them had managed. If he had burned Lestat too, would he be living, still, in squalor beneath the streets of modern Paris? Probably not. Part of Lestat's charm had been the impossibility of such a thing as the world became brighter and brighter.
Pointless. They arrive at a park bench, and Armand sits, making room for Daniel to sit along beside him. He doesn't feel nervous for this most unusual lesson, detached from the possibility. They adapt or they fail. They change him or they don't. And Daniel already has.
"That building," he says, a nod. Across the way, a tall apartment complex, midrange rentals, some permanent residencies. "Focus on it like a single object. You'll sift from the rest of the world the minds within it."
