[ Of course Lestat recognizes Daniel Molloy — he'd looked into the man as much as he was able while keeping his presence as unobtrusive as possible. If Louis is as protective as he suspects, then he may very well be warned off in short order, similarly to how Armand had attempted to nudge him away from Louis in the beginning. Whatever detente they've reached now is still tentative, but yet holds — for Louis's sake as much as it is for anyone else who happens to be a guest of the Balfours.
Lestat had been given a flower crown of his own, initially perched atop his head, although he'd lost it somewhere, a single blossom tucked into the front pocket of his shirt. Even without seeing what's interwoven through those silver curls, he would have noticed a difference — the same traits that differentiate Armand, and Louis, and Lestat, from the rest of them, even those who claim to be vampires themselves.
Naturally, his first instinct is to follow Daniel, to see how long it takes for the newly-made vampire to notice. Call it a playful effort to test his senses, rather than a cruel attempt at toying with him. Either way, Lestat will wait until Daniel is alone, and retreated to the shadows, before he makes his presence known. ]
Congratulations. [ A deep, curious purr — Lestat's mostly fascinated by the sight before him, and dying (forgive the pun) to know who had extended the dark gift, but doesn't demand answers yet. Instead, he lets his gaze sweep appraisingly over leather-clad shoulders, sunglasses perched on the bridge of a nose. ]

Is it everything you hoped it would be?
