"I miss him."

What does it cost him to say this to Daniel? Daniel, who cut through all the stories Louis told himself for almost eighty years to find this truth.

A little smile, head tipping as he contemplates Daniel. Daniel who Louis doesn't need to miss, because he is here. Who Louis will miss when he goes, because he doesn't expect Daniel to stay when he is a newly made vampire and the entire world is laid open at his feet.

Contemplations Louis moves past to devote himself to Daniel's question.

"We lived here, for a time," Louis tells him. Something he guesses Daniel knows, because he found his way here. "I thought I would find something left behind."

Something. Someone. Louis keeps the feeling to himself, the terrible, aching swoop as he contemplates what's been taken from him. How he was kept, things excised from him over the passing years.

"I've been looking at documents. It hasn't been very enlightening," he admits. "So you're a welcome interruption."
