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.
