How he felt about it? He didn't really feel much of anything these days, so there wasn't much reason to hold back or lie. He didn't actually care if Lestat knew why he was soulless either.
He shook his head.
"I have no reason to lie. Not that you'd believe me on that, but I don't." He shrugged. "Why do you care so much?"
Clearly some earlier version of him had caught the vampire's attention. He was pretty sure that wasn't a good thing.
