I’m curious about how Gabrielle seems to go back and forth between being your lover and your mother. How does that play out in everyday life? It was must get kinda awkward sometimes.

Ah, and here we are. I just knew this would come up eventually.

What you must understand is, as a vampire your relationships to others are not so clean-cut as they might have once been as a mortal. There are nuances and subtleties that exist beyond the human scope. You stop seeing things as being taboo or immoral. You simply love a being for what they have to offer you.

Yes, Gabrielle is my biological mother, but when I turned her she became something else to me as well. She was less of a caregiver and more of a companion. I can see how you might misconstrue our relationship as potentially awkward if you are thinking of us as a mortal mother and son. Yes, that would indeed be strange. But that is not the case let me assure you.

And no part of our relationship affects me day-to-day. This is mostly because I see her only every several decades.

Do you ever worry that Louis will simply walk away? Not kill you, not try to harm you, but that his indifference will grow strong enough to simply not care anymore?

We walk away from each other quite frequently. It’s like clockwork. These days we are never apart for very long, but inevitable intermittent separation has become commonplace. It’s healthy for us, distance.

He would never leave me permanently, however, nor I him.

ooc; Let’s just talk about the fact that Daniel is Louis’ #1 Tumblr Crush right now

In your relationship with Louis, who loves the most?

gorgeous-fiend-blog:

I think that is an unfair question.

It’s impossible to tell because we love so differently.

The way I show my affection is through a  showering of lavish gifts, which Louis often condemns as being superfluous and shallow. Whereas Louis expresses love in much more subtle ways, through other intimacies. A flash of a genuine smile, the gentle squeeze of a hand. It sounds as though I fully understand this and have worked around the way our “love languages” clash, but that is far from it. I am saying all of this now from a very analytical standpoint, but there are instances where these differences can be very disheartening to the both of us.

With that being said, however, there is no way to calculate  which one of us loves more. I suppose I am much more prone to grand romantic gestures, but there is no equation that could be employed to figure  the true sum of our affections. I do not believe our bond can be quantified.

Fess up. You might not have written the book, but you DID intend to put “Lestat knows best” in Armand’s mouth.

I did no such thing! What motivation would I have for that? I cannot help it if Armand has always put me on a pedestal. 

Shut up, the three of you.

So I shouldn’t tell everyone about that giant statue of Lestat you had placed in the botanical gardens? Okay, then. 

There is no statue of Lestat placed in the botanical gard-…

Will you please stop?

That statue is in Armand’s bedroom. There’s a statue of LOUIS in the botanical garden ;]
