I am so jealous!! Having a Louis-like friend is not quiiiite enough to be Lestat. Do you pester him, belittle him for his introverted qualities? Are you the manic pixie nightmare creature trying to pull him into a more colorful and exciting life? Do you have a gorgeous head of pampered yellow hair?
Louis and Lestat are not friends. They’re hopelessly in love with eachother and live to “stick pins” in eachother. Or fangs. Whichever.
Out of curiosity, which version of Louis is your new friend? There are many, but the two main ones are: Freshly-Dragged-from-the-Gutter!Louis:

Or BAMF!Louis:

^The ego is the same but the outward display of confidence is hugely different. And the smell. BAMF!Louis smells like almonds, black tea and honey. Gutter!Louis, not so much. More like wet cat D:
