[If Daniel had asked Armand might have explained that telepathy, the Mind Gift, can be tricky. Especially when the gift is strong, ironically enough. Minds are noisy, people are thinking all the time. To those powerful enough to hear over great distances, it can be a constant din. Thousands of voices in the crowd. Tuning into just one mind takes focus and concentration.

He hasn’t been tuning into Daniel much. He’s been too focused on Louis. It’s why Armand was surprised when Louis read Daniel’s mental question about how he tasted. He hadn’t read it because he hadn’t been trying. But Louis had been.

Sometimes, though, when thoughts are particularly loud they can be heard over the rest of the noise. So Armand is aware of Daniel’s bristling and renewed determination. His frustration and irritation tend to be louder than anything else.

Then again maybe he wouldn’t have explained any of that. It would really depend entirely on his mood in the moment, which can be obnoxiously fickle.

As it stands he follows Daniel as he heads out of the penthouse, and focuses on answering what Daniel spoke aloud.]
