What does Louis want to do?

Lately, he has been picking fights. Seeking out old memories and ghosts. Texting Lestat.

And now here is Daniel, smiling at him, touching him, making promises about time.

Louis yields back his hand, smiles a little back.

"I'll think on it," Louis agrees, minor acquiescence. Daniel, trapping him into choices. Annoying. (Fond.) He tips his face up into the spray, rinse product from his hair before reaching for another bottle. Conditioner, this time. It's a leisurely process, all of this. Louis is a relatively young vampire, but there are small ways in which he has slowed down, learned to take his time because there is no hurry, no looming end point to life.

"We don't have to stay in Morocco," Louis reminds, eyes opening to look at Daniel as he works palmfuls of conditioner into his hair. "Could go somewhere else. Sight-see."

Somewhere Daniel doesn't have any kill orders or whatever taken out on him. A jailbreak might be fun, but not until less of the vampire world wants Louis dead, and maybe Daniel is less likely to make headlines in the wake of whatever dashing escape they concoct.
