Lalo, for his part, is very happy that Lestat isn't the type for performative grief. Pretending to comfort people experiencing real, actual grief irritates him enough; he can't imagine having to pretend-comfort someone who is only pretend-grieving themselves. Yeesh.
Lalo nods to Lestat's observation. True and obvious, of course, but with a tone behind it implying that there's more to the Lestat's insights than what can be surmised from words alone.
"Remember when that dipshit in the mask? A few months ago?" Lalo allows himself a smirk, figuring that Lestat isn't the kind of guy to be bothered. "There was green light then, too." Is it related? A coincidence? Who fucking knows. But it seems worth mentioning.
His smirk fades into an easy smile (like there aren't four dead bodies slowly transitioning into a state of rigor mortis right beside them) and he leans in, to shake Lestat's hand - if Lestat will allow it, of course. The man has a princely air about him, and Lalo would never want to show such bad manners as being presumptuous in front of royalty.
"Salamanca, by the way. Lalo Salamanca. And if I may say, I'm charmed to meet you."
