"Oh."

Real surprise. Daniel wonders at it. Coincidence alone, or was there some subconscious call between them, drawn to the same missing pieces? Well. It's not like there will be memories of Daniel anywhere besides San Fransisco, so probably coincidence. He doesn't have anyone else to go to about it (except Armand, but he's out of the question).

Louis might, he realizes. He could uncover any number of people. A slightly sick thought, and probably nothing compared to how Louis feels about it.

"He misses you. He'll live, though."

Sentimentality and assurance offered at once. Daniel does not mention that Lestat loathes his association with Louis and passionately hates that they have a past connection, because there's no point. He gets it, anyway. And as dangerous as Lestat is, as fucked up as his relationship with Louis was (is), there's a part of him that wonders if either of his marriages would have lasted longer if one of them went really, really crazy over it. If it wouldn't have been romantic.

"What brought you here specifically?"
