Absolutely agreed.   I first read the first four Vampire Chronicles back in the 90s when I was fourteen and I knew then that the one more likely to lie to the reader, perhaps to protect his own ego, would be Lestat.  As much as I love him he does have an ego and that was a pretty miserable condition he was in.  He admitted he was in that condition yet denied the conversation.  It seems more likely that it did happen than that it didn’t.

Yep, I think it did happen, and Lestat’s ego couldn’t handle it.
