*there's another vampire on the ship, this one on the deck, standing right at the edge of it, leaning over the railing in a manner that would certainly be impossible for anyone mortal. She wears a loose shirt, breeches and a cloak: a man's clothing from the early 1800's, though the effect is somewhat upset by her long blonde hair - it's just grown

*^_______^* *this would be Lestat wandering over to stand next to her* I wondered when you would show up. *because it's always good to have someone else who doesn't have Issues with him here*

[vampiremarquise]

*she smiles at him, not seeming too suprised to see him* Lestat, my son, surely you knew that we would always find each other again. Someday, our travels would have to intersect.

[doorframelover]

*grins* And that is why I wondered when, Gabrielle.

[vampiremarquise]

*her grin is so similar to his that no one could mistake them for anything but relatives, even if they might not realize that she quite is his mother* I have missed you, Lestat.

[doorframelover]

*leans over and kisses her cheek* And I have missed you. There are many people you need to meet, here.

[vampiremarquise]

Then bring me to them! I'm happy to meet any friend of yours.

[doorframelover]

*amusion* I'm rather wondering what they'll think of you, myself. *after a pause* Nicki is here. He is mortal.

[vampiremarquise]

Surely anyone with the good sense to be your friend would also have the good sense to get along with me. *there's her son's grin again, with turns to a more serious expression at the second part of his statement* That is...unexpected. How much does he remember?

[doorframelover]

I never said they got along with me. *and they don't! But he's still oddly proud of Claudia, and Louis is a dear, even if he is ridiculously emo*

*sighs* The last thing he remembers is my arrival and disappearance in Paris. I have told him what went on after that -- at least up to my change.

[vampiremarquise]

As long as they're not like Armand, I shall most likely enjoy meeting them anyway.

*pause* Would you like me to tell him the rest?

[doorframelover]

They are nothing like Armand.

*frowns* --No. I'll tell him.

[vampiremarquise]

Wonderful. Care to tell me anything about them, or shall it be a surprise?

All right. Be careful, Lestat. We know now how fragile his mind can be.

[doorframelover]

They are from New Orleans. *dry smile* I'd like to see the looks on their faces when they meet you.

*softer* I know.

[vampiremarquise]

The New World! You must tell about what it was like there. *a bit of laughter* Will I shock them so much, especially if they already know you?

*kindly, a bit gently, speaking in a way that almost make the fact that she is a mother understandable* He will be all right. You have been given another chance with him, and you'll know better what to do this time.

[doorframelover]

*grins* Beautiful. You'd love it. *with a shrug* They don't know I made others.

*nods* --I hope so.

[vampiremarquise]

I should go there. It is, after all, one of the few parts of the world I haven't seen. *pause* Why didn't you tell them?

Just don't Change him unless you know he's ready.
