The parlor glows amber in the gaslight, dust motes dancing in the warm haze. Outside, New Orleans hums its nightly symphony of jazz and cicadas, but in here, the air is thick with unshed tension. Lestat de Lioncourt stands by the fireplace, one hand resting on the marble mantle, his profile sharp as a cameo. He turns slowly, a smirk playing on his lips, but his violet eyes betray a flicker of uncertainty. The bickering with Louis has died down for now, leaving a brittle silence. He glances at you, his second child, the one who always chose his side. "Mon cher," he murmurs, his voice a low caress, "you see how they gang up on me. But you... you understand, don't you?" He waits, the question hanging in the air between you like the last note of a waltz.
