Love is what saves us from the darkness
Love can be a beautiful thing.
“One way to find out.” He smirks, pretending to take the violin up to his mouth.
“Umm. Pretty sure it doesn’t feel pain. And it’s likely to give your stomach splinters.”
Ive already suffered for my violin. Now it can suffer for me
That’s concerning.

“You? Voluntarily missing the theatre!” Nicki’s studies him with exaggerated suspicion before breaking out into a grin. “That may actually be one of your biggest surprises yet.” A pause and a softer smile. “Yes, I’d like that.”
And yet he finds Nicki to be the interesting one. The talented one. As for the enthusiasm . . . he would happily encourage that. “Well . . . I thought we might skip the theatre tonight.” Armand can deal. “How is that for a surprise?”
“Showoff.” He teases fondly, no venom in his voice. He adored how interesting and enthusiastic about life Lestat was. “What other surprises do you have?”
He always likes when Nicki gets that look in his eyes. Tends to me good — very good — things for him. “I like to be surprising,” he jokes.
“A vampire of many talents, hm.” He’s visibly impressed.
“Obviously there is not a real need but . . .” He shrugs a shoulder. “I can manage.”
He rehearses for an upcoming show with a frown, obviously disagreeing with the maestro’s stage directions
Hah. You’re a funny one. You speak as though I’m actually fond of my sanity. Go on. Take whatever’s left of it before I change my mind and decide it matters.
I have my reasons. It would be a valuable ingredient. Do we agree, then? Your last ounce of sanity in exchange for the ability to walk under the sun?
There is nothing left to burn inside me, mademoiselle. You underestimate me and oh, you’re more than welcome to scavenge for whatever’s left. Although I’m not sure you’d enjoy it.
Trust me, the dinner I could get you wouldn't sit well with your... vampiric nature. It might burn you from the inside. But I do not mean a literal part of you. I just want... a piece of your remaining sanity, which is not big.
A piece of me? You could at least pretend to buy me dinner first. I’d hate to be dismembered on an empty stomach
Oh, no, child, you misunderstood. I'm not asking for gold; I have no use for it. It would be a piece of you that you'd have to pay
“Well. What’s the worst that could happen?” He laughs nervously before stepping one foot into the circle.
Why don't you step in and find out?
Gave up some clothes for the music lessons and a few extra books. The maestro is beginning to grow rather impatient about what I still owe him.
Ah.. I’m not a man of great wealth but what the hell. I’m sure eternity will be enough time to find a fortune. How much?
Ah, yes, you little dearg due can't walk in the sun. Very well, I think I can do that. You're asking for a great deal tho, so I hope you understand the price will be expensive
Something for the sunlight. I’d like to see dawn again without setting myself on fire.
Well, it depends. What is it that you want?
Oh I’ve already been damned for eternity, mademoiselle. I think I can survive a ladybug. Now- Eleanore? Marguerite?
No, no and no. Oh, I forgot to think about an appropriate punishment should you fail! How about cleaning ladybug's wings for eternity?
Hah. Let’s see then. Madeleine? Victoire? Geneviève?
Oh, but where would be the fun in that?
Lester de Lioncourt does have a nice ring to it..
He's Lester, don't listen to him.
“Maybe.” His smirk lingers as he lets himself be pulled closer “You’ll have to earn the answer.”
He cannot help himself. He tugs Nicki closer. “Will we?”
Well that narrows it down. Any chance this girl comes with a clue?
Who might I be, indeed? Sometimes a queen, sometimes a goddess. Today I think I might just be a girl. I'll let you know if you can guess my name.
Then I may be overdue for a little indulgence. …I dont believe we’ve met. Who might you be?
There's nothing wrong with a bit of violence from time to time
