“When he says I played with innocent strangers, befriending them and then killing them, how was he to know that I hunted almost exclusively among the gamblers, the thieves, and the killers, being more faithful to my unspoken vow to kill the evildoer than even I had hoped I would be? …The whores I feasted upon in front of Louis once, to spite him, had drugged and robbed many a seaman who was never seen alive again.

But little things like this don’t really matter. He told the tale as he believed it.”

gorgeous-fiend: #How was he to know

It’s the fact that you left that little thing (and piles of other little things) unspoken that caused so much friction in the frick frack! Argh. 

In Lestat’s defense, I think if he started with the whole, "You know, Louis, you can just kill evildoers, like I do…” then Louis might pick and question at that, too, and maybe he was worried that opening up just a little bit might be enough to want to reveal ALL TEH SEKRITS WHEN MARIUS SAID SPECIFICALLY NO TELLING, WE PINKY-SWEARED AND EVERYTHING.
