{ the admission and confirmation of that night makes him relax, allowing an easy break to a further open expression. his eyebrows rise up and he ends up chuckling. }

I’ll be damned. I did have a good time, I confess. You’re easy on the eyes yourself.

{ a genuine compliment that speaks as if it were from another era, even if louis had always been ahead of his. he ends up pausing briefly to assure. he can handle it. he can ask. }

I know very few from Thorne. He didn’t tell me much of who he met. Did you encounter a vampire named Lestat de Lioncourt?

[ ...ah. There it is. ]

He did. [ Rhy confesses quietly, and by the gentle, almost apologetic tone of his voice, Louis may have his answer without asking. ]

He mentioned you. As one of the taken, when Josselyn's cult was... active.

[mobezon]

It’s probably best. Nothing could ever contain him, and Abraxas is no different.

{ considering he painted the mountain red for him. he still speaks with a fondness he shouldn’t hold, and there’s a sadness there too as if he were back in paris looking at lestat’s picture hanging up on the wall again. gone. it’s easy enough to contain. he’s done it before. all that remains — }

Thank you. There’s that. And I still have time left it seems. I could use a drink. You’re welcome to join me if you’d like.

[ Rhy meets the fondness, the aching undercurrent of sadness, with a faint, empathetic smile. ]

Of course. Happy to buy you one. To thank you for the pleasant evening at the masquerade.

The tavern may be a good place to ask around for someone to fix the bench, too. Works out well enough.

[mobezon]

That's a great idea.

{ he fully intends on getting the bench fixed, even if it takes more than one moon cycle and he has to tend to it next time. it's a reason to return. louis' smile is genuine, blossoming briefly from its gloom. }

My mama used to tell me it's the company I keep that matters. Thing is, I would twice scandalize her for the ones I kept many times over, greatly outweighing what she deemed good. It's to say, I look forward to getting to know you, Rhy.
