I had not noticed him to be caustic, only a touch difficult. He reminded me of one of my fellows during my time under Dr. Carrel, in truth. I admit that it took some time for the two of us to find our balance in working together, but we did in time become of great use to one another.

That is my hope, if I am to be honest. Both for the safety of those around him and for his own sake... as well as everyone who might come to know the man he hides so expertly behind the guise of monstrousness.
I'm glad things have been relatively all right between you and Malcolm. Considering everything I keep hearing around the ship, you'd think he was the devil himself.
[ Slight sigh. It's harder to watch someone he cares about getting maligned at every corner than it is to be the one maligned. ]
Lestat's had a very, very long time to keep his monstrous disguise on. It has to practically be a security blanket by now. I don't envy you your job in prying that off of him.
--then again, I know for a fact that it's not impossible. So I'll wish you luck in that endeavor.
From that viewpoint, he seems kind-hearted if rather overfond of sharp wit at times. It is hardly a damning fault in my eyes, though I can see how it might be misunderstood or ill-received. I am sorry if the current difficulties have contributed to a difficult time he's been having.
[ A nod to what Will says, though. He's not at all wrong, though he feels it improper to say further, a betrayal of Lestat's trust. ]

Much obliged for the well-wishes.
