My Rightful Place: A Letter to Lestat de Lioncourt

My Dearest Lestat: 

As you read the heading to this correspondence you will no doubt pinch the bridge of your nose and wonder what I am up to. *soft smile* This is, as you will glean, not a letter from a Sœur to a Frére but from a member of Le Théâtre des Vampires Coven. 

In centuries past I have allowed this Coven to view me as weak and in need of protection. Though it was never my intent it seemed to suit my purpose after all that has past in Paris. By this you know I refer to Armand. It has come to light after serious consideration that after hearing of the possible threat to our Coven, our way of life and our Ancients by way of Rogues, that I take my rightful place within the Coven and seek out Armand and demand answers from him on this matter.

Oui Frére, do now pinch the bridge of your nose as you will no doubt mumble in our beloved French at the above declaration. It will do no good as my mind is made up. I am, after all, one of the oldest members of The Coven. Non. There are non older than our Ancients and as I write this I pause to think of my beloved Maharet. 

But… As one of the oldest I believe it now my duty to not only take my rightful place within but also to return and present my husband as a member of our Coven. Our bond and the marriage between us affords him the right and I will seek to obtain the acceptance from our Elders to record our union and place Basitaan in the Annals of Record as the husband and mate to Celeste dé Morte. 

With this being said Lestat, I will close for now. I miss you my frére and implore you to take care of matters in the States. Take care of my dearest and most trusted friend, May. She can be a handful at times but then you will remember, so can I. You have always done a beautiful job at taking care of me so I have no reason to believe that May’s care is not of the utmost importance to you and of the highest priority. *mon imp’s mischievous grin inserted here*

Take care mon frére bien-aimé ~ All my love ~
