— Lestat here. Well, first of all, I must correct you, as you made a rather egregious misspelling of my “Forever Companion” ‘s name. Louis with an “e” is in fact the feminine version of his name. Tsk tsk.
That aside, yes, if you’ve read my books, you would be enriched with the knowledge that I have tried – several times – to make other companions. Always knowing that none could compare to him. I’ve made fleeting connections with others… David Talbot being someone I have plucked from the jaws of mortality to bring with me into the abyss of eternity, but even he and I never had the level of spark that lives between Louis and I whenever we are together. I can even feel it through his written words, even in the abbreviated communication of texting (and sexting when I can get him in the mood for it!) when we are apart.
It seems that Monsieur de Pointe du Lac is in fact, as the slang seems to go here, my “better half”, that we are an “OTP”. It’s not always rainbows and sparkles, as in any relationship, there are fights, there is space needed sometimes… of course, passionate reconciliation is often well worth that! We tear eachother to pieces, and fashion eachother to completion again.
Omg you made my night!! I accept this title. Yes. Good.
BTW: I haven’t had time lately for ~fresh~ ones, but rest assured… I have ideas percolating… I think I have to do more tumblr text-post memes, I hope that direction works for you!
I’m pretty sure that’s a derogatory term, Anon. *tsk tsk*
True, the ethnic appearance of that body certainly drew Lestat’s interest from the beginning, and now it holds a caucasian’s soul inside.
For what it’s worth, the first time that body is described (I did a quick search so this may not be the first time, oh well), the skin color isn’t even mentioned:
“Yes, there stood the same tall, powerfully built body, and the hair was the same thick, wavy brown hair…How his large brown eyes glittered. And what shining teeth he had.” – Tale of the Body Thief
Anyway I don’t have time to go find more quotes describing that body’s appearance but you get the idea.
David Talbot probably had/has difficulty adjusting to the racial reactions he gets from this adopted ethnicity. It was hard enough adjusting to being young again. The looks an old white man gets are certainly not the looks a young – did we ever find out his actual ethnicity? I can’t remember – ethnic man gets.
