a) Your name is Armand, b) There have been vampire encounters, like getting an arm almost ripped the fuck through, c) Vampires are coded as cultured (which Daniel likes), which fits into the Prague and 'old' thing, d) It plays really well into the 'I'm a monster, you're a monster' thing he's got going too, c) Your name is Armand. Like Anne Rice did this shit, man. Andrei to Armand. We've all at least seen the movie where you're played by Antonio, who is, in my opinion, hot af, d) You're supposed to look like a ~beautiful adolescent boy, which Daniel would also like in a only-semi-creepy way, e) Painter. He's into that too, btw, f) Did I mention your name is fucking Armand and I'm not an idiot? I think that's an important point.
