[Louis curls around Lestat, holds him to himself as he struggles with the information he's been told. Like Lestat, he wonders how this other version of him could curse a five-year-old girl to immortality. But then he thinks of their Claudia, how could fourteen have been much better? Just on the cusp of adulthood, wanting for more than anyone could ever give her.
He remembers being in their sitting room and her screaming at them, then who's gonna fuck me?
He remembers her leaving not long after, taking a journey of her own into an adulthood her body would never reach.
When Lestat speaks, Louis replies softly,] I'm thinking of our Claudia. How reckless we were.
