[ Sheer, loud delight in that voice. The faint background noise dies down a little, a telltale sign of Lestat losing sight of his human facade in his excitement. ]
A hint, hmm, let me think. I love it when you play along, such a martyr for me, aren't you? Withstanding all this for the sake of my happiness. [ He's practically singing his words are so warm. ] Ah, that's it. It's something you have absolutely no need for!
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.
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.
[ 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. )

You sound so sly. Is it something you'll enjoy watching me use?

Ah, now you have me worried...

[ 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.
