Louis watches the not-so-inner war of Lestat's mercury-swift emotions play across his face. It'd be fascinating in a detached way if Louis were 1) detached and 2) over him.
Lestat can really be an uncaring ass sometimes. It highlights the morbidity of the situation at hand in an almost comical way. Lestat could be covered in the very blood of the victims here and he would act the same, Louis thinks. (Although, Lestat's reasons for killing are more concrete than this unknowable monster.) Louis is able to set about death and gore with skill and elegance, fighting himself all the while, but he doesn't have Lestat's gift for irreverence.
There are feathers everywhere for some reason, no blood, an empty .45... and of course the expressions on their faces.
"...I think that's enough starin'," he finally says. If Lestat is going to smile like that, Louis is going to start shunting him where people can't see. "As if you didn't feel its Mind Gift too. If we... if we had been together when it hit, I don't even know if it would have been better or worse..."
lol
