Shall We Dance : LestatxLouis by *bibi-chan

“You’ll have to bed down with me this morning. I haven’t prepared you a coffin.”

Lestat: Have you suffered in my absence?

Louis: It was pure hell. Each risk you take hurts me. But that is my concern and fault.

Lestat: Why do you love me?

Louis: You know, you’ve always known. I wish I could be you. I wish I could know the joy you know all the time.

Lestat: And that pain, you want that as well?

Louis: Your pain? Certainly. I’ll take your brand of pain anytime, as they say.

Quote from ‘The Tale of The Body Thief’, four book of Vampire Chronicles, Anne Rice.

“But then he is so good at grieving! He wears woe as others wear velvet; sorrow flatters him like light of candles; Tears become him like jewels. Well, none of that works for me.”
