Aw, that makes me wish I could paint and draw.

[discanted]

You have tried it, to see that it is not so?

[alldevouring]

Yes, unfortunately. Although the violin I'm trying to learn.

[discanted]

You've a hand for it?

[alldevouring]

I dunno just yet, but my mama does; I want to try and play with her. She's an artist, too.

[discanted]

A polymath, then.

I've a friend who plays the violin, and well. Perhaps he could be persuaded... though to know Lestat is to know his answer.

[alldevouring]

Oh, were you looking for someone to play for you...?

[discanted]

No, no, I was a fool again.

I looked for artists, as if they graced every street. As if they were cattle.

But my friend, he could teach you things, many things. If he cared to.

[alldevouring]

Oh.

[alldevouring]

What? R-really?

You don't have to.

[discanted]

No, I don't.

It is why some things are done for duty, and others for pleasure.

And you may think on which is this.

[alldevouring]

That is... very kind of you, sir.

Thank you!

[discanted]

I think I should have your name. Yes.

[alldevouring]

Hotaru Tomoe.

What's yours?

[discanted]

Marius. I would speak with Lestat on your behalf, but you ask also.

Tell him that I have sent you, and that it would please me greatly were he to make no fuss. That I do beg it of him.

[alldevouring]

That shouldn't be a problem at all! Lestat-san is friend of mine, Marius-san.
