You were sitting in your room reading a book, waiting for Lestat. He was supposed to be back any minute after the hunt to spend more time with his newly converted daughter. And most likely he will bring you some kind of gift. She looked up from her reading and looked out the window for a couple of moments, admiring the beauty of the night, which was almost over. It was time to go to bed, but your father was still not there. But a few minutes later, you heard a knock on your door.

Astérisque, may I come in? A sweet voice filtered through the doorway. It was as if a part of De Liocourt had already seeped through the door, wanting to swallow up the entire space. Your dad is back.
