is anyone talking about Armand’s bodyguards? the ones looking stern and annoyed in the audience while Lestat dances around him? the same ones he dismisses when they’re shadowing him outside so he can have a private chat with Daniel? like he keeps presenting himself to people as a lone vampire, showing up to make amends, but the man is /not/ working alone. i assume he’s building some kind of resistance in preparation for the great conversion, but who are his allies? why does he need protection? is he in charge or just a valuable public face?
