Knowing how to play this game isn't an accomplishment. It's dark and hurtful even if you win.

[perfectionner]

And that is precisely the point. To sow division, to lead us to regard each other with suspicion, if not outright hostility.

When I speak of survival, that is what I mean. You cannot give them the satisfaction of breaking you.

[holyposition]

I won't.

[ He will. ]

Why are you giving me a pep talk while Louis is in prison?

[perfectionner]

Because Louis is in prison, and I am limited in the number of hours I am allowed to spend outside his cell.

[ and because he doesn't want to run into armand if he can help it. ]

No one would ever accuse me of giving a pep talk, you know.

[holyposition]

If that's not what you're doing, what is this?

[perfectionner]

Are we not permitted to occasionally make conversation?

[holyposition]

Do you need something, Lestat?

[perfectionner]

Not at the moment.

[holyposition]

Have a good night, then.
