Lestat interviewing Marius:

Lestat: So you just spent awhile talking about Louis. What were you thinking about me at that time, prior to the concert?

Marius: That Louis was waiting for you.

Lestat: Ok, yes, but what about ME?

Marius: …

Lestat: …

Marius: …

Lestat: Well I’m just saying you were very descriptive about Louis and Gabrielle so I just want to keep your voice consistent. What did you think about me at the time?

Marius: That you were the damnedest creature. 

Lestat: Really? You mean that?

Marius: Yes, a brat prince.

Lestat: Go on.

Marius: *sigh*

Lestat: *pouts*

Marius: Okay. Honestly you are such a child. -pauses- Face and form…  The  ice-blue eyes, darkening with laughter; the generous smile; the way the  eyebrows came together in a boyish scowl; the sudden flares of high spirits and blasphemous humor. 

Lestat: And?

Marius: Lestat!

Lestat: What? I just want the full story. Talk about my body.

Marius: *grumbles* Even the catlike poise of the body… So uncommon in a man of muscular build. Such strength, always such strength. 

Lestat: Oooh that’s good stuff… *writes* You make me sound so cool.

Marius: …such irrepressible optimism. *groans*

Lestat: Okay now we can move on.
