Another thing him and Lestat have in common, he thought and then immediately dismissed. He couldn't afford to do that if they were going to work together, he couldn't afford to let this get under his skin.

And while he ━

Daniel hadn't thought about the danger to them. When had he ever, in his long and storied career, thought about the danger to his family?

Sure, it was different. Mundane, human threats as opposed to monsters who lurk in the dark. But it was the same end result, wasn't it? His family in danger? He ━

It was useful to him as a vampire too, maybe more so than it had been when he was a sick mortal.

"I won't turn you away."

But he also knew that he wasn't the easiest man to get along with. He tended to bite the hand that feeds him. Hit first and ask questions later. His words were his weapons and he used them well.

That, Louis had reassured, was normal. Maybe even a good sign that his mind gift was strong.

"You're a flight risk."

He hadn't meant to say that out loud. It was admitting way too much.

He shoved his hands in his pockets, trying to focus on the way that his joints didn't ache in the cold and the fact that he didn't have to pause and take breaks.

Yet, his gaze kept straying. He would —

Things to keep his mind occupied.

"No. I'm not going to beg for that asshole's attention."

He unlocked his door and turned around before his eyes could give him away. His windows were covered with curtains that had been provided by Louis. There was a mostly finished puzzle on his dining room table and a few ━

The immediate answer was a resounding yes. He wanted his maker. He craved him. It was worse than any withdrawal he'd ever experienced.

But, the thing is, Daniel had been sober for a long time. He could withstand these horrible cravings if he had to. And he wasn't about to give up his dignity ━

Of course he'd portray Lestat fairly. His goal is the truth. While he's not giving out puff pieces, he's also not trying to disparage anyone either. No matter what the subjects of his book may feel.

He portrayed Louis fairly. He portrayed ━

But really, he's sure his uncle is asking about vampires. Louis had been his only tether and as soon as he'd cracked open that book...
