Lestat lets out a pleased, surprised gasp and is mildly aroused by his newborn fledgling exerting his vampiric force against him, which hints that Lestat is into UsefulNotes/{{BDSM}}. It foreshadows Lestat's masochistic side when Louis [[InterplayOfSexAndViolence manhandles]] him in [[Recap/InterviewWithTheVampire2022S1E6LikeAngelsPutInHellByGod episode 6]].
