Not sure about Armand’s willingness to be dragged into that circus, but this would be especially useful re: all the fledglings Lestat’s accused of making on a regular basis…

[As they walk out together]

Lestat: “SEEEEE? I can, in fact, keep my wrists in their sleeves on occasion. REALLY.”

Louis: “So it would seem, on this occasion.”

Lestat: “You’re not going to drag me back on this show next week with a new batch of accusations, are you?”

Louis: “Are you going to give me reason to do so?”

Lestat: “No, of course not! Maybe. Probably. BTW Did I tell you about this new musician I met? He is amazing…“

Louis: *sighs*
