"Man, fuck you!"

She sounds as indignant as can be. Furious, even. There is an outrage that accompanies the fact that Lestat would be willing to consider Aria so debasing herself as to be carried by a grown-ass man.

There is also the agony of regenerative healing, which Aria knows intimately well. She's gotten herself in enough trouble over the years—inflicted it upon herself, even. She knows her limits. She knows the sting. She savors it, in fact.

And then, she's laughing. Her broken legs are intact once more, and she is standing, and she is laughing like crazy.

"I don't need to be carried anywhere, Von Count. Do I look like a baby to you?" She's literally five-ten!

@eladead

HE CAN'T BELIEVE HE'S DOING THIS—AND IN PERSON, NO LESS.

"My kid's a huge fan."

Which might not be entirely appropriate, given Lestat's whole thing and his daughter's age bracket, but if he starts hyper-monitoring her media consumption, they'll accuse him of trying to convert the whole goddamn city into a surveillance state.

"It would mean a lot to me, to us, if, you know—"

"If I keep burning your super important legal papers, baby, we're going to get in trouble eventually." The fact that someone is able to make Spirit Harris, of all fucking people, look cautious is truly remarkable.

And what else could he possibly want?

"I don't know what you want from me, Uncle Les!"

My Dear Diary,

No matter how hard you try, you never can know what you're gonna get with Uncle Les. He's as hard to protect as a storm in the summertime. I love him dearly, and he's my family now, but sometimes it's like he wishes I wasn't here at all.

And sometimes, it's like he loves me just as bad. I have no clue what to do with him. Oh, my diary, why did the angels make it so that a vampire made by another can't hear their own maker's thoughts? It just ain't right to me!

"Once I start listenin', I just can't stop. And some people," She leans in close, conspiratorial, "Are just so plain stupid, I got to say somethin!"

"I am sorry. How old do I have to get?"

Have you even considered the wrinkles? Probably not. Well, Pyotr is. He doesn't really understand how all of this works.
