and so he does pick the thoughts out of daniel's mind, what with how quietly he speaks. the party's noise inside could turn any murmuring to blurred, white-noise. it's very much why, when daniel hears louis' voice again? it's certainly not out loud, but thrumming in his mind. ]
There's something wrong about this place, whatever it is. No coincidence that you, Armand, and myself were called here. Among others.
[ it's best not to mention lestat. not right now. not here. ]
I don't recall the reason they invited me here - likely under the guise of an investment. But an investor should be able to leave if the deal goes sour. They never send a car.
