[ Lestat listens as attentively as he can, but it's very difficult to be an engaged and responsive conversation partner when you are distracted so thoroughly by your companion's ability to just... speak, to ramble, to let everything he's feeling out to the point where Lestat wonders if there's really any need to try and get into his mind and fish out the finer details. Thinking of it brings him back to what he'd seen when he'd bitten Demyx, the torment and the heart-wrenching scene of something precious to him being stolen.

Demyx is right, it is impressively like his own situation in some ways, but he can't help but wonder if it isn't reversible for him. A vampire can never be reborn as a human - to his knowledge - but someone without a heart can surely regain it through the right set of circumstances, right? Is it foolish to have hope that such a thing might be possible? Is it strange that Lestat feels strangely protective of the idea, this dream?
