This must be mortifying for you. I almost wish you'd sent it on video.
[There was a second where she groaned to herself, seeing a message coming in from Lestat. A part of her, of course, didn't think he'd really do all that much to follow up with her despite the general progress they were making. Yet, here he is...and then she realizes he's asking her for help. Why else would he message her such a thing?
It's all very easy to put together, and she can't help it. Claudia laughs.]
If you want to live in the sort of style you're used to, indeed. Poor Louis has many talents, but his general lack of ambition hinders him from any particularly lucrative job offers.
[Well, he'd do well if he wanted to sell his body, but that's obviously out of the question.]
[And has a good position in a second, similar sort of business. She could throw him that way, if she didn't want to deal with him, and it would still be a kindness. But Claudia has to look at it from another perspective:
Lestat's a showman. He would make a killing for Fangtasy, possibly bring in newer blood while he's at it when one considers his penchant for socializing. It would be a smart business move, even if it might mean being a bit more annoyed on a nightly basis.
That, and he'd have to do everything she says. There's a bit of sadistic glee to that knowledge.]
I'd be willing to hire you, but I'm afraid it's not completely up to me.
Quite. And unfortunately, she has her own history with your former self. It may take a bit of convincing, but I'm sure between the two of us she can be persuaded.
[Not that Diva can't hold a grudge, but unlike Claudia, she's far more easy to impress.]
I've already mentioned to her that your behavior now is nothing like we remember it, but I'm sure if you reached out on your own to make amends, she'd listen.
It seems like most people have some sort of history with my former self, good or bad. And I'm thankful to you for speaking to her on my behalf. I appreciate that you were willing to do so.

You believe I have a job for you?

[This is good! They're communicating. She's answered his text, and is even teasing him a little. They're making progress.]
Poor Louis does work so hard.
But no, I think I shall have to contribute to funds, somehow.
I believe you're part owner of a business, which is a start.

No doubt you would have to get their approval, as well.
