Lestat, if Nicolas was still alive and not insane, will you choose him to be your forever companion instead of Louis?

♛*sighs heavily* How can you ask such a thing? I’ll pretend you didn’t just call my former lover “insane,” and I’ll pretend you didn’t just suggest that Louis could so easily be cast aside, like some used piece of chewing gum. I mean, yes, while being hopelessly devoted to him, I admit I have my flings with others, but he’s the one… he knows how much he means to me.

What Nicolas and I shared – it’s over. Long over. Just scar tissue now. Can never be rekindled. We were something, everything, to each other once. He made it absolutely clear in what ended up being our last meeting that he wanted nothing to do with me, that I had failed him in so many ways. Perhaps he was right. I would have gone back for him, I asked if I should go back for him, he didn’t want me.

And you know what? He failed me, too. He led me to believe that he wanted to succeed in Paris, but every success we had was secretly a thorn in his side, and he was riddled with wounds before we were ever separated.

I failed him. But I have to believe that I helped him get some joy out of life in our brief time together, because he taught me what love could be. I have to believe that wasn’t a one-sided thing. 

I gave him what I could. I’ve closed those chapters.

I had this dream that left me wondering: do you think Lestat would kill someone if they asked him to? Like if they were fatally wounded or had a terminal illness and prefered swift death at his hands (well, fangs)? (I hope this doesn’t seem too weird)

Yes, I think he would grant such a request*, as long as that person was not an evildoer. Lestat actually has a lot more compassion than ppl give him credit for.

But it would be on a limited basis, I don’t think he’d be satisfied finding only these types of ppl to satisfy his own insatiable needs. He loves taking out evildoers, which, among other things, saves other lives, prevents other misery. Plus, it’s more fun ;]

*Except, of course, for his own father, who was dying, and Lestat couldn’t bring himself to kill his own father, even if he only bled him out like Louis did, w/o feeding on him. There’s fanon out there about that complicated father/son relationship… in the end, it’s clear that, for whatever his reasons, Lestat wanted to make his father’s last years alive to be fairly good ;A;
