"My ever beauteous sire, does the moon ever doubt her beauty?"
"When the ancient moon wears sun sewn gowns as beautifully as she ever did in youth . . .perhaps not"

Through long fingers, Magnus pulls nearby stems, pinching with his nails, and tossing them idly into his lap.
"Sit with me, Lestat. Here."

Towering nursery tapestries and vast rugs
Hundreds of little river stones and cleverly collected natural materials build play castles and towers on the floor
Eager hands weave flower stems into crowns to share

Your heart
*Presses slowly over the beat in Lestat's chest*
Do our hearts feel a certain way, near each other, with this bond of blood?

Lantern hung on his wrist, Magnus takes the climb, his wide black eyes fixed on the dark.

Lovingly I did lay his wolf's coat of red velvet.
Beside the handsomest clothes the servant bought.
And the uncountable jewels and treasures, each a thought of him, untold, when he did not yet exist. 'It will be my bride's.' All for him to use. He doesn't need me.

(When Magnus lifts the statue, and slides the glass plate, the pages spread easily, all their pressed and dried flowers peeking in gaps)

"I’d have to put my hands in-”
“-this ash that-

"Your face!"
"Your eyes!"
"My God! I'll die!"

"I want you now. It would feel good. We fell through stars with each other," [Lestat thinks, beginning to succumb to sleep]
"Clever that. I had thought the sky was . . .real", he mutters on his inhale, blonde lashes dropping.

*He kisses both Lestat's palms, smiling*
I rediscovered my confidence
Nights at your concerts I learned, by everything you were doing. Nights between I learned here, contemplating modern life and myself

One evening, in attendance of an occult meeting, arranged by fellow alchemists, I sat beside a vampire, unaware, to share riddles and amusement, and he sat beside an aging man, with everything to gain, if found worthy of his trust.

"Reading books from your mind, Magnus. Astonishingly vivid. How is it all so vividly kept?”
Lestat sighs deeper, the flower falling from his idle fingers."

"But to love observing lures him again, toward the window ledge, his splayed palms extending until pelted by icy rainwater, his glittering eyes peering until reflected lightning touches the ramparts."

"Come now, my brave Wolfkiller," I cajole, jumping at once down from my perch in the wood, through the doorway again. "A little mortal courage"

He drinks wine and cooks stew and gazes from a telescope of bronze. . .
. . .he’s been writing the symbols of the lion, in verse, and describing leo of course, myth woven into the sky
