interviewee | INBOX;

M. de Pointe du Lac,

If you are not otherwise engaged on Christmas Eve, my sister is holding a Christmas ball, and it would be lovely to see you again. We have recently obtained a nicer house, and there will be plenty of dancing.

Warmly,
Anthony Bridgerton

[Louis receives a present delivered to his room in the Down Public Housing.

The gift contains one of the following (your choice or at random):
• a couple pairs of warm winter socks,
• mittens (fleece-lined wool),
• a knitted bobble hat,
• a small tropical peppermint cake (homemade from a Tyrian recipe--peppermint roll cake with mango compote), or
• some peppermint omnomberry bars (likewise homemade; in the absence of real omnomberries, he's substituted lingonberry and redcurrant).

The hats, mittens, and socks are not homemade but store bought and in a variety of colours and patterns--your choice!

For an optional encounter with the giver, go here.]

[At some point after finding her gifts, Claudia will either flag Louis down or else leave the small wrapped box at his door (assuming he still lives in Public Housing and is easy enough to find that way). Inside is an expensive-looking pocket watch and chain. On the back is engraved a message: For every precious moment. She's also included a note that reads The time that we have here together is all the gift I could ask for, and I cherish it with my whole heart. Love always, Claudia.]

[ on christmas eve day, daphne has an arrangment of pink roses sent to louis' room, as well as a small wrapped package. inside is a single hand embroidered white handkerchief with a pattern of fleur-de-lis at its corner.

a simple card attached reads, Happy Christmas, Monsieur Louis. I do not know a grand deal about France yet, but I have learned that this symbol is important there? I hope it finds you well. I am glad you have met my family and I. Yours, Daphne Basset ]

[Louis' has only been gone for a mere few minutes when the first message arrives. It's fairly obvious from Lestat's tone of voice that he's been crying.]

Louis, come home. Please. I did not hide this from you to hurt you. I wanted you to be happy in this place, with a home and a business you wanted.
