[ It doesn't fluster him, exactly, to hear Louis say such a thing to him - it's reasonably difficult to fluster a man who takes insults as badges of honour and compliments as stating the obvious - but it does make him feel a little better. Not only that, but the way Louis said it seems to speak to more of their nature than it might seem to an outsider; they have been covered in blood before around one another, after all, however rare an occasion... at least in this instance the outcome can be comfort. ]
I wouldn't have rather been anywhere else.
[ And its true, not only because being at Louis side makes the most sense to him, seemingly magnetised to one another as they are... but because he saw Louis enjoy himself, enjoy being strong, feeling strong... and he'd also seen him feed. Lestat swallows and feels heat follow it, blossoming through his chest, making his face feel slightly warm. The sight of Louis' fangs embedded in Dorian's throat is still burned into him, something he doesn't think he'll ever forget, though he knows thinking of it often is a terrible idea. ]
How do you feel, now you're out of there?
[ Is the blood still sustaining him? Is he hungry? Does he feel stronger out of the influence of that house? So many questions. Anything to distract them both. ]
