[ Lestat is also notably absent at dinner for anyone who might think to look for him, but that has more to do with the fact that he doesn't require sustenance in the same manner that so many of the other guests here do. As for many other vampires, human food tastes the way that paste would — dull, flavorless, something that leaves no impression on the palate and ultimately proves unpleasant.
While he'd confined himself to his room by daylight, not yet aware of the strange phenomenon here that causes the sun to have no harmful effect, night is when he finally emerges from his designated quarters, dressed a little more appropriately for roaming in a loosely-buttoned shirt and a pair of trousers, his feet bare even if he makes no sound when he pads across hardwood floor and rug alike.
In fact, he's been in the library for an untold number of minutes — half-expecting to find Louis here, yet again — when someone else enters, and while Lestat makes no initial attempt to hide himself from his position sitting in one of the highback chairs, he realizes he may very well escape initial notice. That leaves him with the opportunity to observe his new company as the young man glances over the contents of the shelves. ]
Find anything interesting? [ Lestat will broach the silence, at least, but his voice seems to fade into their surroundings rather than serving as a loud blurting that would only startle. ]
