Daniel has to go. Louis receives this news with a shock of real fear. Takes a moment to steady himself, keep the tremor of it from bleeding into his voice when he speaks.
A promise. Louis will put himself into that room if he has to. Simple as that. He's older than he was. Has drunk down Armand's power for eighty years.
And he could never leave Daniel to his fate.
If Louis had been more careful, it simply would not have come to pass and Daniel would be home. Could do as he pleased with the money Louis had wired to him.
"I'll see you soon," Louis promises, as if they are only arranging a visit. As if Daniel doesn't sound terrified. As if Armand couldn't simply kill him at any moment.
Armand won't. If he had intended to, he'd have left Daniel's body for Louis to find upon his return. He is doing something else.
