[ As though it's an effort to further their rebellion toward this place, Lestat pulls on her hand so that she's led into following him, and guides her to sit on the nearby bed with him. Lestat even goes so far as to cross his legs and look extraordinarily comfortable while he does.
If they're to stay here a little while to get their bearings, Lestat reasons with himself, it's better to do so at ease than standing in the middle of the room both bursting with tense energy they can't release; at least in this way he can worry less about fidgeting - or worse, his habit of inhuman stillness. ]
Was it a spectre, one of the forms in the hallway that tried to grab you? Something humanoid?
[ Something from her past, surely, if the theme he's picking up on is to be believed. But he knows he has to ask - he should at least try to know what he's looking out for.
He hasn't let their hands drop, but he does bring them to his knee so he can rest the other atop hers. Pressed between both his cold palms, it's at the very least a good anchor for her to focus on, should she need it. ]
