Agreed. AU gold. I imagine a scenario w/ Lestat

pulling his daughter Claudia there by the wrist to go knock on his neighbor(Louis)’s door…

---

Louis: (opens the door)

Lestat: Hello neighbor!

Louis: (holding a bag of frozen peas against his bruised face) Yes? 

Lestat: (sticking out his hand to shake Louis’) I’m your new neighbor, Lestat-

Louis: I know who you are.

Lestat: Yes well, my daughter, Claudia, has something to say to you.

Louis: (looks at Claudia)

Claudia: (looks at Lestat)

Lestat: Yes, she does. *glares at Claudia*

Claudia: *glares back, then looks at Louis sweetly* I’m sorry you were in your yard and got in the way of my bottle rocket.

Louis: …

Lestat: *facepalm* Darling that’s not how we rehearsed it. Try again.

Claudia: *through gritted teeth* I’m sorry your face was in the way of my bottle rocket, Monsieur Louis.

Lestat: Mon dieu… Louis, she’s sorry she hit you.

Louis: It’s alright. I was once that age.

Lestat: Good, good, well, that’s all cleared up now,… you know, I know some better techniques than just iced vegetables to reduce the swelling…

Louis: Oh really? Like what?

Lestat: Well I’ll have to come over and show you it’s hard to explain-

Claudia: DAAAAD I wanna GO NOW.

Lestat: Shhhh! Claudia! Daddy’s negotiating!

Claudia: Can we go shoot off another bottle rocket?

Lestat: Yes we can, darling. Louis, I’ll call up a sitter so I can stop by later tonight, I feel responsible-

Claudia: (pulling Lestat away) And this time I’ll aim for his FOUNTAIN.

Louis and Lestat: *sigh*
