Suppose they fall into each other. Suppose they tangle up in this hotel room, only emerging when the hunger is too great to bear?

Anything murmurs beneath the tangle of their minds, Louis sliding in among the neat order Daniel has been building within his own head. He learns so rapidly. It is different in some small way each time Louis touches his mind, sees how Daniel has grown since they last spoke.

"I'll stay stateside a while. Make it easier to show up when you got a couple off days."

And Louis has promised to attend concerts. Has been speaking to Lestat, text messages and phone calls. Similar reassurances. He is alive, he is safe, no one has harmed him.

Complicated.

Louis puts these things aside. Leans their foreheads together, slides his arm around his shoulders.

"You hungry? Or you wanna stay here and talk a while before we start thinking about those drinks you promised me?"

An invitation for Daniel to continue tinkering with the laptop, if he likes. Louis is willing to indulge, to enjoy the challenge of distracting him away from it in an hour or so.
