[It feels like Lestat is staring straight through him, somehow, searching for something he doesn't know how to offer. Creepy. He's not used to getting this much focused attention, honestly--not used to anyone really paying him much attention at all these days, unless it's to either demand things from him, or get mad at him over not doing those things well enough. Why do they even bother giving him such rotten missions, if they already know they'll get mad that he's no good at them?
He's not sure what's so funny about it, but Demyx laughs along anyway, tense and uncertain. In spite of the precarious position he's in though, there's no racing pulse under Lestat's fingers, should he try to find it--nor even a pounding heartbeat, more to the point. And yet, he's just as warm and animated as any prey the man could hope to find, isn't he? Give him a minute to try and remember the lecture he'd gotten all those years ago, back when he'd freshly woken up incomplete--back when the gaping, empty spiritual wound inside him was still raw and bleeding, when he'd been so numb with shock and bewilderment that he'd only barely started feeling the depths of his loss.]
Uh, well..... Vexen said you gotta have a lot of strength of heart and willpower to survive? As long as you hang onto your soul tight enough, I guess you can use the power of Darkness to hold yourself together and keep going, or..... something. Or maybe it was your sense of self, or your memo--wait, no. That doesn't make sense. Then there wouldn't be any Dusks, right?
