     It was a walk, as usual, that brought Lestat to the mansion a bit earlier, a short conversation leaving him sitting in the main room pondering not really all that much at all. He smiles to himself as he plays absentmindedly with the ring on his right hand staring off out a window. A part of him knows he should seek out Louis once more as he

And here comes an Anita, who very literally pounces on Lestat, to give him a very sincere hug.

"Well, you adorable vamp you. Thank you!" He's getting a kiss on each cheek. Yup.

[immortalbrat]

He cannot help but laugh quite heartily at all this fuss. "I assume then that you received your gift chérie." There is a friendly returning of the hug. "I do hope it is satisfactory."

[tomboy_22]

"Oh, it's great to sit in." She smiles. "Don't think I'll be going very far with it, though. Did you get my note?"

[immortalbrat]

He rests his elbow on the arm of the chair, propping his head up on his hand with a grin. "Oh yes, yes I did. I do think I was rather thoughtless when I gave you that gift wasn't I?"

Lestat chuckles. "It must have caused a bit of a stir, I'm certain, the presence of such a thing here. Ah-- well that must have been something, it is a shame I missed it." A pause, then. "I thought, perhaps, you might use the car to find your way out. After all it is a bit less tiresome than walking, and of course if you did find your way you should have no problem getting fuel."

After putting Lilli down for the evening, Nicki decides to wander for a bit. Perhaps he'd meet someone new.

... or perhaps he'd only see someone not-so-new, who he wasn't entirely sure he wanted to see again.

"Lestat," he says, quietly, with a thin smile.

[immortalbrat]

Lestat blinks once, then again just to be certain he is not seeing things. There is a moment where he ponders just getting up and walking away, however he finds himself speaking without too much thought. "I rather thought I would not see you again Nicki..."

[impossiblenicki]

"I hadn't thought I'd see you, either. You locked yourself away in your ivory tower with your princes. Are you living happily ever after now?" He sounds bitter, vindictive, petty, and he knows it. But if he's honest with himself, he's never fully forgiven Lestat for leaving him, time and time again.

[immortalbrat]

"I've been here many times since--" He frowns. He will not justify himself, he does not feel the need. "I wish things hadn't happened how they did Nicki, truly I do. But I certainly did not lock myself away. I have been here often enough."

Again he finds himself toying with the ring on his finger, though this gesture is more protective than absentminded.

Henry is downstairs, quiet, and reading, oddly focused and frowning. It's the Silmarillion again, and this time he's trying to pinpoint some things about it, and it's not going well.

[immortalbrat]

It is a very strange and sudden moment when his mind quiets all at once. At first it is somewhat disconcerting and he looks up and around to reorient himself. Upon doing so he spots the other man. He smiles and, oblivious to the book, attempts to make conversation. "Hello. You look-- almost familiar, have we met?"

[fitzroyal]

He sets the book down - the search has been fruitless, no sense wasting effort. He looks up, startled. "...briefly, I believe," kind of absently.

[immortalbrat]

He shrugs a little, amused by the other man's behavior. "Then let us pretend we haven't and start with a clean slate, for it is entirely more entertaining that way." He grins, a quite charming grin really, and extends a hand to him. "I am Lestat, and it is a pleasure to meet you."
