Summary
“Cardinal,” Pope Innocent said without looking up. He was signing something, slowly. “Sit.”
Lawrence sat.
“I need a favor,” the Pope said. He didn’t sound tired, exactly. Just past the threshold of fatigue into some stranger, steadier state.
Lawrence waited.
“There’s a visitor,” the Pope went on. “He believes he’s here for an audience.”
Still, he didn’t look up. Just turned a page, signed again, then closed the folder and laid the pen down with the kind of care that made Lawrence nervous.
“Bellini can’t take the meeting. I won’t.”
A pause.
“You will.”
(In which Lawrence speaks on the Pope’s behalf, and learns that being heard can be its own kind of closeness.)

Summary
Whatever carefully blank expression Lestat is trying on disappears like a slap. “Armand made a fledgling. Why would he do that?” Lestat asks.
“Oh, you know,” Louis says, watching the three dots of a new text pop up. “He knew Daniel was… important to me.”
He means to say it with rueful annoyance, as if to say, “so he ruined him.” But as Daniel’s text comes in—the most important question I should have asked you in that fucking interview: where do you buy coke in Dubai?—Louis’s voice trails off, his words maybe lacking some of the bite.
or
Lestat misunderstands what Daniel is to Louis and tries to be a champ about it. Meanwhile Louis rediscovers his drug of choice—Lestat.
