Quiet, as Louis' eyes rove over Daniel's face. Lifts his free hand to set light fingers o his cheek.
Is it enough? Louis can only take Daniel's word. Remind himself of all the ways they are different, and let that ease Louis' fears for him. Push aside the question: will all of that be enough in ten years? Twenty? Ninety?
"You could never disappoint me."
Says Louis, who is not on TikTok. Who has only the barest understanding of what Daniel and Lestat are doing together between stops on the tour.
"I only want you to be fulfilled by this. I already know you're able to make something of the Gift," and then, softer, "I want you to live."
To live better than Louis had, though the bar for that is admittedly low.
