Claudia's eyes brightened when Lestat had finally agreed to leave New Orleans. She turned, and looked up at Louis. "I heard, Papa!" She cried out happily before running toward them. She wrapped her arms around them both as much as she could, and she smiled brightly from ear to ear. "Thank you, Papa Lestat.. Thank you!" Claudia enjoyed getting her way as much as any child, and had the manipulative abilities of a woman to carry through her plans.. However, this time, she really was going to give in if both of her father's didn't want to go through with it.
She thought it over for a moment, and then she leaned back, looking up at Lestat. "Papa.." she spoke softly once more. "We never have to go to Paris. Not even France. We really don't even have to leave if you don't want to.. I just need.. something different."

Lestat hummed at Louis' little comment. The damned man knew that he enjoyed being called a good boy far too much. Lestat blindly sought Louis' hand, which he gave a gentle squeeze. He admitted that he was terrified, which was absolutely silly to think of. He had been alive for so long, and yet was so afraid of change.
He smiled when Claudia thanked him, once again their little girl had wormed her way past his defenses. "You are welcome Claudia." He was amazed however, when she said that they did not have to leave if he did not wish. "No, I think you and Louis are right, it is high time for a change of pace."

Louis smiled and squeezed Lestat's hand back, bringing it up to his lips and giving it a gentle kiss. Proud as he was of Lestat for bending to their will and accepting that New Orleans had become dull for them lately, Louis knew that Lestat was still terribly frightened.
"I'm sure where ever we go we will be very happy." he said, winking a Lestat before speaking again. "Now, about this dinner. I'm starving." he said, looking around and hoping that something new had surfaced.

Claudia couldn't have been happier. Her fathers were both on board with leaving, and the two of them looked happier than ever. Of course there was a bit of jealousy that was deep within her, knowing that she'd never find a sort of love like that, as she would always be in the body of a little girl.. but she knew that no one would ever love her as intensely as Louis and Lestat would. "Thank you papa... Both of my papas." She smiled sweetly. It wasn't often that one got a sweet, genuine smile from Claudia.
When Louis spoke of food, Claudia gasped. "Yes! Dinner!" She searched around the area with her eyes, and she noticed a young couple. The man looked as though he were wearing more makeup than the woman, and they seemed rather drunk. It wasn't surprising during this hour that there would be drunkards stumbling out of bars. "If you'll both excuse me.." She walked away from her papas, and she started toward the couple, crying.
"Mama," She called out, looking around hopelessly. "Mama!" The girl moved away from her boyfriend, and stumbled toward Claudia. "Aww, what's wrong, cheri? Have you lost your mama?" Claudia nodded, sobbing silently. The girl waved her companion over to comfort the little girl, and to ask her where she last saw her mother. That was when Claudia struck. She started with the man, knowing that the woman would be more startled, and less likely to attack. She pulled the man down, in to a hug, and she sank her teeth in to him. The man cringed, and the woman took several steps back, gasping, about to scream. "What are you?! You're the devil, child!"

Lestat smiled down at her, and then nodded. "Dinner sounds marvelous right about now. He saw the same couple that Claudia did almost instantly, and he smiled proudly as she went off to hunt. Her method had been perfected by now, and Lestat knew that she would most likely not need help. However when the young woman was about to scream he had to put a stop to it. He moved from Louis' side, saddened for an instant, but it had to be done.
Lestat swooped down upon the woman and pulled her into the dark shadow of an alleyway, his hand clamped over her mouth tightly so that she could not scream. Meanwhile he continued to watch Claudia, ensuring that she would need no more help.

Louis watched carefully for a few moments, wondering what he should do now that both of them had sunk their teeth in. He then moved to assist Claudia, moving the man into the same alley that Lestat had traveled to. He lingered there with her for a few moments, not particularly liking the taste and releasing what had been the mans wrist from his mouth. He then moved to join Lestat, aiding him in draining the poor woman and giving Lestat's hand a slight squeeze as they fed.

Claudia followed Louis as he helped to conceal the man in to the alley. She was careful not to waste a drop. She didn't mind the taste much.. Claudia was never too picky. Her favorite part was the hunt... the blood was merely a prize. She opened her eyes, watching her fathers for a moment before allowing her eyes to close again so that she could enjoy her meal. She began to ease up as the heart slowed to a near stop. "Would anyone else like to finish? I don't want to be a glutton.." she spoke sweetly.

Lestat squeezed Louis' hand back, however his entire mind was focused on the woman. He did not wish to drink far too long, as the woman's death thralls would pull him right down with her. His eyes flicked over to Louis, and after a few more minutes he pulled his head back, and dabbed at the corners of his mouth before cocking a brow at Claudia. "You did not finish him already? I am surprised."

Louis released his deathly vice grip almost just as Lestat did, licking his lips quickly and making sure his face was clean. He turned towards Claudia and smiled. "Go right ahead, my love." he said, knowing full well that there was no way she was finished. Claudia was extremely ruthless, and when it came to meals, she was almost never sated. He glanced over at Lestat and flashed him a soft smile before bending over and collecting the woman into his arms. "I'd better dispose of this." he said, walking a bit further down into the alley and placing the heavy sack of flesh behind a nearby pile of crates.

The man had tasted absolutely delicious! It would have been rude of Claudia not to offer to share, since her father's had been sharing one person.. but the two of them declined and Louis told her to finish. Claudia gave the two of them a large smile, and she lowered her teeth to continue to feed. Just as she was taught to do, she didn't spill a single drop of blood. When she finished, she released the man's shirt, and she watched as he fell in to a dead clump of human on the ground. "I could help the two of you dispose of them, papa." She smiled, showing off her crimson stained teeth.

Lestat finally took the last shuddering gulp from the woman and released his fangs from her neck. He sighed and wiped his mouth with his handkerchief before chuckling at Claudia's statement. "You? Help to dispose of a body? You are such a tiny little thing Claudia, you could not dispose of a body if you wanted to."

Louis chuckled, placing the woman gently down on the ground behind the crates and moving back towards his unorthodox family. He glanced over at Claudia, then down at the body at her feet, then to Lestat, flashing him a smile. "Would you like to take care of that one, while I make sure there wasn't an audience?"
