Candace the Magnificent

Why can't I understand you?

It's kind of like a standoff here between the two of them.

It's high noon and they're both in the center of town square or something.

Like...

I'm just like, when do either of these people just get sick of their shit, right?

Like, when do these people go, we're probably not very good for each other, and then leave.

I love how skeptical she is, though, especially like in the face of Lestat being so like curious.

Like this is like the first thing he's been passionate and excited about and forever.

And she's like, poo poo.

Like, you know, I feel like this is her at her most matronly.

Like we talked a little bit last episode about how she her like her like mom side has been coming out.

And I feel like this is just more of the same.

Right.

Like there's like a certain amount of protectiveness.

And I don't want my son to get disappointed that's happening here.

That kind of is almost a throwback to like that first time that we meet her, like in the beginning of the book.

Where she's like, she doesn't really care what Lestat does, but at the same time is like, please don't get hurt.

Like, I don't want you to get hurt, right?

Like, I'm going to send you to this school because I don't want you to get hurt.

I'm going to let you read books because I don't want you to get hurt.
