I am simply tempted to say ‘Damn it, Armand’ here, but that would be too easy, even if it is at least partially truthful.
I enjoy watching him wake. He does not always do this, but if he knows that I was there with him when the death sleep took him, sometimes the first thing that he does upon regaining consciousness is reach for me, or open his eyes to make certain that I am still there or somewhere nearby.
When his voice drops an octave with distraction or desire. Or both. Both at once. That incites a smile of a rather different kind, granted.
If he is learning to get to grips with a new piece of technology or a computer game, the cursing under his breath can be rather charming, if not outright amusing.
One thing, however, that will always work without fail, and always has made me smile: his arms sliding around my waist, his lips at the nape of my neck, and a moment of peace between us under the night sky. Standing in the dark waters near to the edge of Night Island, twined like this with him, nothing has the power to take that moment from us.
Guess who successfully got Colby interested, majorly, to the point of we’re attempting a Lestat and Armand cosplay for Monster*Con, in The Vampire Chronicles?
y’know, as much as some ppl didn’t like him as Armand (and I will defend Antonio 5ever!), I could see him as Santino. Maybe part of the reason they cast him as Armand is that they really wanted Santino. Let’s pretend it’s Santino passing as Armand.
It’s Armand and it’s actually canonand one of my favorite parts to visualize in QotD(although it’s honky-tonk not ragtime, but their styles are related) I mean, just imagine Daniel waking up to that, looking completely DONE.
Wiki says it’s a “musical genre that enjoyed its peak popularity between 1895 and 1918,″ not sure if Lestat was underground then, convalescing. He did catch up on things when he pulled himself together in TVL.
If it was Armand who likes it, it seems like a guilty pleasure Armand might not want publicly known about himself! It’s not too far #ooc for Armand to like it, really, he does have theatre experience. Under Musical Director de Lenfent’s direction, the TdV probably performed dark comedy that had similarly jaunty music. And murder.
