Armand's presence in the room had quieted Louis, but hadn't dispelled him. Stubborn. Clinging harder in the back of Daniel's head.
They don't need to talk through Daniel. Armand is not his maker. (Armand made him into something else, transformed him over nearly eighty years of attention.) They could forgo Daniel. Speak directly.
Louis doesn't withdraw. Doesn't blank Daniel from the conversation, from his response.
Please, Armand.
A tremor carrying through.
This offer laid out like a bear trap, waiting to break Louis' wrist when he reaches for it. Knowing he'll reach, because he cannot leave Daniel there.
Moving. Running. Faster, watching Armand through Daniel's mind.
