He even talked like a Hollywood cowboy gunslinger, thought Derek. He looks like a princely porcelain statue but talks like a gunslinger, with a low easy drawl. French can be beautiful when you speak it with a drawl, and his English was beautiful with the French accent and the drawl. But however he spoke, he seemed sincere, and this warmed Derek’s heart. The Prince’s smile was brighter than Marius’s smile because the Prince smiled with his eyes and his lips, and Marius smiled mainly with his lips.
I like how Derek describes Lestat and Marius’ smiles. 🙂
