I Really Like The Movement In This Shot: Armand Leaning Back When Daniel Leans Forward, Almost Swapping/mirroring

giving me access to word art was a mistake

well let them keep talking then

Armand is canonically perfect at the mind gift. Even Khayman is super impressed by his mastery of the mind gift. In a way that even vampires more ancient than himself are not, he is perfect at blocking his thoughts and reading others’ thoughts. Show!Armand is also repeatedly shown to be extremely powerful but specifically really, really good at the mind gift. Real Rashid was a psychic detective with Talamasca training, you can maybe make an argument that he’d be able to block his thoughts (but from Armand??) or maybe he counted on Armand not really looking/ being lazy, but how was Daniel able to keep secrets from him if Armand’s whole reason for being present in the interview is to make sure Daniel isn’t up to any funny business. I know other people have already said this but I legitimately think about it several times a day.

if I was Daniel Molloy i’d start learning french asap. no way I’m letting those three have a secret language to use in front of me
