You cannot teach someone ‘how’ to be a vampire, as each experience is entirely unique and different (although I do wonder if Louis would beg to differ on this).
With Louis, I was young and impatient, eager to assuage my own loneliness with his presence, and thus I blundered terribly with him. I have to say, though… Louis could not understand that he already knew what to look for, what to see. Louis’ gentle spirit and inquisitive nature already made him a prime candidate for vampirism, and his desire to learn and know gave him all the tools he needed to experience the world around him with his new senses.
I don’t know, frankly. I fail so often that it’s become rather commonplace at this point, and to continuously go back and say, “Ah, I would have,” or “but if only this” seems utterly pointless.
In short, there is this: Louis knew what to look for, even if he didn’t realise it.
Perhaps I might have actually been honest with him in how much I loved him. Perhaps that might have changed something.

What’s your preferred method of killing?
nodominion-deactivated20151126:
I’m not really used to killing yet. I don’t like doing it. I much prefer to steal a mouthful from a whole bunch of mortals, leaving them dazed, but mostly unharmed.
That’s an unfair answer, especially considering I have killed. So I will try and answer you honestly.
If I need to kill, I often stalk someone for hours. I am trying to follow the only evil-doer rule, and my lack of telepathy means I only feel a kill moral if I witness my victim commit, or attempt to commit, a crime. I do like to stop my victims before they hurt someone else. Intent is enough to kill in my mind.
Often times I will invade a college campus late at night, my senses open to all around me. I’ll wait for a scream, muffled, quiet. Or perhaps laughter, malicious in tone. Within seconds I will be behind my victim, pinning them against whatever hard surface is nearby. I do not lull my prey with sweet dreams. I rip into their throat without remorse. I have learned not to be so greedy, to savor the blood, to swallow with a small stream instead of large gulps. It keeps the human alive longer. Sometimes my victim’s victim is still there, watching in awe. When I am done with my meal, I always make sure they have a ride home, a safe place to stay, and that they will say nothing of what happened.
This reminds me to ask Armand how to confuse mortals. If I have the gift at all.
Lestat, what is your favourite piece of clothing at the moment?
Louis’ ‘Master and Margarita’ t-shirt. It came from this fascinating website called Out of Print Clothing, where they put old book covers on t-shirts. He pretended to be unimpressed by the gifts, but he wears them often.
They are all too small for me, but they smell like him.

What was it like making love with Daniel the first time after he was turned?
It was altogether new and yet incredibly familiar. I had lost the touch of his thoughts, the unspoken flow of love and desire, but had gained the way that the blood flowed between us and the communication that came with that. The confidence with which we could now touch each other was new, because there was no danger now that I might harm him through inattention, yet all of our knowledge of each other on an intimate level still remained. His new strength and heightened senses made the experience completely unique, allowing us to pull responses from one another that neither of us had displayed previously. It was a night for revelations.
The way that his fangs broke into my bare skin that first time was and remains one of the most intoxicating, heady sensations I have ever experienced. Take from that what you will.
“How do you feel about the afterlife?”
I don’t know.
Is there an afterlife? I once thought near constantly of this subject. Do those that I kill ascend to a heaven, or am I completely eradicating them from any semblance of existence?
Is there a hell, or perhaps might hell be on Earth? If it were so, would that not make immortality a punishment? It seemed fitting to me at one time, anyhow’ that feeling that my life might very well be hell, and some devil was at work prompting an endless cycle of death that I undoubtedly enjoyed, yet loathed that I did.
I became content, however, in the thought that there existed no higher beings, and everything that is simply “is.” The appearances of Claudia’s apparition—if it was she that Jesse Reeves encountered in the first place—shook that belief that had given me a semblance of peace for years. Yes, of course, if Claudia could appear as a spirit, that would mean there is, in fact, an “afterlife.”
Lestat claims to have seen God and the devil. Perhaps he did. Perhaps he was merely deranged.
I don’t know, and I suspect I never will.
Biggest regret?
Why should I live my life with regret? The only regret I have is that Magnus brought upon his own death and I did not have the pleasure of doing it myself.
