Armand framing the coy, halfhearted protests he made when Lestat began to caress him in the theatre as though he was concerned about the hurt that this would cause, rather than him further flaunting to Nicolas, a man Armand considers his romantic, intellectual and ideological inferior, that Lestat is openly pursuing him instead.

#and of course Nicolas’ first words to Armand were to call him a racial epithet #after all of Armand's previous derogatory descriptions of Nicolas the pretence is not the most convincing #Armand's pained expression in the present following this scene may be more due to how shortlived and hollow said victory now feels #it feels suspiciously like he is celebrating a victory #the question is more whether Armand expected Nicolas to hear the love confession too #or whether he chose the moment the music swelled so he could say it in private #ideological inferior in that Nicolas represents humanity to Armand #something he consistently in flashbacks to Paris and in present day seems to regard as something for vampires to rid themselves of #not quite aware that it is this humanity that fascinates him #so Armand believes he has won by having Lestat embrace his vampirism albeit with some particular flourishes held from his own past #remember when we were speculating if the lean in shown in the trailers actually ended in a kiss or whether Lestat would pull away?#and now look at how far we have come #Armand #Lestat de Lioncourt #Nicolas de Lenfent #Interview with the Vampire #Interview with the Vampire Spoilers #Jagged Jottings
