[Marshall grins at the talk about Lestat. If ever there was a fictional vampire he identified with...]
That's what I liked about Lestat. He got sick of the bullshit. He just wanted to have a life after death and didn't give a fuck. True he made some pretty stupid mistakes with Akasha and all but you gotta respect him for trying at least.
[Oh, Marshall notices but it's okay.]
I dunno man..Edward sneaks into girls rooms to watch them sleep. That's not romantic..that's a need for a restraining order.

[He hums a little to himself as Marshall talks about Lestat, moving to sit down beneath the lamp. It's kind of nice, lends a bit of a dark, brooding air to the car, which he appreciates. And someone is willing to talk to him about his vampire books without giving him a hard time, which is always a plus.]

He made a lot of mistakes even before that, you'll remember. Poor Claudia, growing old, but never growing up, and always treated like a child. Not to mention all the mistakes he made with Louis. He might've had good intentions, but he never seemed to learn from his mistakes.

[And then he ducks his head a little, mumbling about how he wouldn't mind someone sneaking into his room to watch him sleep.]

[The light doesn't bother Marshall as much as it normally would. He'd taken his resist-the-urge-to-eat-your-potential-friends potion earlier in the day and felt pretty good. To him sitting in the light was awesome.]

I always wondered if Lestat would have bothered turning Claudia if Louis hadn't seemed to feel so guilty. Turning a kid is really a stupid and cruel thing for a vampire to do though.

Yeah..he did some pretty dumb shit. I kinda liked that aspect of him though..it made him more human and relatable despite being a vampire. It showed that not all of them are complete monsters...

[Marshall totally catches all of that and chuckles.]
If you like that kind of thing though..hey, more power to you.
