( So indignantly: )
Lestat! That could be almost anything!
Lestat! That could be almost anything!
It could, couldn't it! Do you want another clue?
( a pause, as Louis tries to decide whether he wants to encourage this. he really shouldn't. he knows better. he does. )
What sort of thoughts?
What sort of thoughts?
Thoughts of sounds and sights. The sort you normally admonish me for.
Devil.
Fiend.
It's difficult to admonish someone who enjoys it as much as you do.
Fiend.

Mm, I know. It's infectious to see me happy, isn't it? I have a theory you enjoy it just as much as I do.
When you call me such sweet things, how can I resist tempting your reprimanding?

I am thinking about the sound your mouth makes when you open it and run your tongue along the veins at my wrist. Such tiny sounds that anyone would miss, but I can hear them perfectly.
Oh yes, not fair at all, I'm so cruel to you.. Let me think. From what I already told you, you should have picked up that this surprise is for you, non? Well, at the same time as being something you have no need for, I believe you might spend a lot of time using it. Though it doesn't require much energy, you'll be glad to hear.
[ Hairtoss. He's loving this. ]
Is that more fair a clue?
[ Hairtoss. He's loving this. ]
Is that more fair a clue?
( Louis is very glad Lestat can't hear the sound he made reading that. )
I don't. Do I? Really?
I don't. Do I? Really?
You do, mon amour. You do.
I wish you could hear it. Surely you feel my pulse speed up?
I wish you could hear it. Surely you feel my pulse speed up?
I believe that was technically three clues, though the first one I had already surmised. Something that doesn't require much energy, but I will get a lot of use from... "Velvet or leather" makes me think of clothing, though not necessarily, of course...
( Can you hear him thinking, Lestat? He's so pleased to have a mystery, it's a gift all on its own. )
You really needn't buy me things so often, you know. I have far more than I need, you've seen to that.
( Just so Lestat remembers that he is Lofty and Poetic and Above Material Things. He'll still use them, though, obviously. )

You should consider yourself thoroughly spoilt then, shouldn't you?
[ Lestat is thoroughly enjoying that tone in Louis voice. He sounds so smart, Lestat feels so proud. That and the chase for the answer is a delightful game of cat and mouse. ]
If it were clothing you would get plenty of use from it; you know how I enjoy dressing you up when you let me.
....Hah, and as for you having plenty of gifts.. you definitely don't have anything quite like this. I can assure you of that.

Something I don't already have? Well, that makes it much more difficult; as you said, I am thoroughly spoilt, whether I want to be or not.
You sound so sly. Is it something you'll enjoy watching me use?
You sound so sly. Is it something you'll enjoy watching me use?
Oh yes, I'll enjoy watching you use it very much. In fact, I'd like to watch you use it.

( Louis exhales sharply, the suggestion briefly knocking the breath out of him. The worst part? He can't tell whether he's reading too much into it. )
Ah, now you have me worried...
( Flustered, in spite of trying to maintain their playful tone. )
Ah, now you have me worried...
( Flustered, in spite of trying to maintain their playful tone. )
Of course. That must be why I can't hear myself. Nothing else exists when I'm so close to you. Just the sound of your heart beating, and my own racing to keep up.
Again with the worry, Louis, don't you trust me?
[ He does not sound like someone who can be trusted, he's even laughing a little bit. Don't fall for it, Louis, surely you're smarter than that!!!! ]
I know exactly how to please you by now. You don't have to use it for me if you don't wish, but that is what originally inspired me.

Truly under my spell, aren't you? I hear it all, like a drum in my head. I hear your mouth water for me, my blood flushing your cheeks. Sometimes I'm certain I can hear how badly you want me.
Of course you know how to please me, but you know how to please yourself as well. You can't feign innocence with me, monsieur.
Ah, but of course. You're forgetting, however, that I am at my most pleased while pleasing you.
You'll have to hurry home, then, for both our sakes. Or are you on one of your shopping sprees?
......
[ The extended pause of indecision. Then a muffled sound that is almost definitely Lestat slamming (probably a little too hard, that incredibly expensive glass back might have a crack in it... again) his phone down on the counter and then leaning over it to talk animatedly to the staff about.. something. ]
They're almost finished! The service here is excellent, you know, apparently this job is the priority.
[ He's talking very fast, faster than usual. Weird, huh. ]
An hour, mon cheri, alright? You can wait that long, can't you?

I have eternity, so yes, I suppose I can wait that long. For you.
( Louis's voice is low and warm with amusement. He can picture Lestat's animated face perfectly, and it's easier to be charmed by his theatrics when he isn't directly in the line of fire. )
