[ Lestat nods, slowly. Ethan is right that anyone could arrive here without any kind of notice, and though Lestat can't think of anyone who he might feel genuine fear to see disembark the train, he isn't naive enough to think that means he's safe. He knows all too well — from personal experience, in fact — that sometimes it's those who seem the most friendly who are the most dangerous. ]

I think I saw her in your thoughts before we spoke. A pale face, very beautiful, intense eyes.. I didn't realise she had been brought here, too.

[ Obviously this puts him in a difficult situation, given her aversion to vampires... but Lestat has spent all his life fitting in with humans, so he isn't exactly a novice at hiding the truth. It just so happens that, fortunately or unfortunately, he also isn't the best at recognising and staying away from a terrible idea, particularly when it puts himself in danger. ]

Then let me help. Should you need me, you can call on me, Ethan. Envision this monster of a man in your head, and your lady-friend, so I can see them and get a good look at them. I'll keep my eye out for danger alongside you. Two pairs of eyes are better than one, and if anything happens to you, I'll help you to keep her safe.

[ He squeezes Ethan's shoulder, just once. ]

I'm sure you'd do the same for me if I asked you to watch over Louis.
