[ Behold: Lestat, sprawled on a velvet couch in a leather jacket, head leaned casually on the arm rest. Visible from this selfie angle, discarded on his coffee table, is a laptop open to a word processor. He's deep in thought tonight. ]

Have you ever fallen in love? Have you ever been punched very hard in the face, or perhaps attacked by a pack of starving wolves? For those of you who've done both, would you say the experiences were at all comparable?

And that would make you the lovely Raina. I've been dying to meet you.

[ Teasing: ] Wouldn't all things considered suggest you're already well beyond dying? But I am charmed all the same. I can see why he would be drawn to you.

[youresovein]

Likewise, my dear, to both — although I must apologize for not being my usual high-spirited self. You're right, of course, that being well beyond dying does not keep me well beyond heartache.

Some company might be just the thing.

I've always found distractions best to ease the aching heart. And distractions we can well provide.

What is it you enjoy most in your spare time? You strike me as a rather artistic sort.

[youresovein]

And you strike me as a rather perceptive woman. I've always been a storyteller, I suppose, but performance was my first real love. The stage, I mean to say.

[flowerette]

Theatre? How delightful! I've always enjoyed watching performers, envious I'd never be able to do what they do myself.

[ Of course, when it comes to acting she's definitely got that part down. Her entire life is just one big, charitable role she plays. ]

Is it something you've done here at all?

[youresovein]

Never? I'm sure you're far too modest!

But for me, it's been some time. For many years I felt perhaps it was the kind of thing best left to mortals.

[flowerette]

The arts, for me, are fine to enjoy. But I'm more of a scientific mind, so I would much rather watch you perform if given the opportunity rather than seek it out for myself.

And you should perform. Even if it's more of a private affair. For Frederick and I.
