{ Lestat tuts his tongue, just lightly, and covers Reid's hand with his hand. }

You've provided me more than comfort already. And you will grow used to it, the way the world changes itself around us. It's those who lose sight of changing with it that find endless life unbearable, and I've not intention of letting you fall behind.

[transfundere]

[ He watches his hand be covered, and curls his fingers in a little, to take some of Lestat's between them. ]

Of that, at least, I am glad.

We can look out for each other that way. O-or so I should hope.

[malicieux]

Of course. Assuming you can suffer me beyond a few decades.

{ Said with a teasing sort of tone, meant to ease Reid's nerves but also so point out his own awareness that he can be a lot to handle. But he's learning how to quell that a bit. }

[transfundere]

I do not suffer you, dearheart. [ A wry smile. ] But I'm glad you know that you will be more than welcome to join me in my world if you wish to come with me.

{ His lips purse a moment. }

If something were to go wrong I'd be left in a place entirely foreign to me.

...because it would be my world or because it would be London?

[malicieux]

I can learn to navigate London, but I would be the only of my kind, unable to return to those I know or seek them out in troubled times. Not that I desire to see any of them except perhaps my mother, yet there's a comfort in knowing their existence.

[transfundere]

[ A pause as he considers. ]

Would you agree to stay in my world until- until my sister has passed, at least?

[malicieux]

Only if you were to come with me should I leave.

[transfundere]

[ A moment before- ]

I would.
