{ Lestat understands being passionate. He understands taking things over the top. He doesn't quite know what compels someone to be that drastic over another person for something less than certain death.
Though maybe it shouldn't be strange. He's seen the opposite plenty of times, passions pushing someone to take others out in extreme ways rather than save them. It's harder for people to take the high road, though. That much he knows. }
It was absolutely necessary. You said I have every reason to be wary of you, but what are the reasons? You let me stay blissed out on your couch for a week when my likely alternative would’ve been going over the side again, even though I promised Malcolm I wouldn’t? You thought well enough of me to try and turn me?
[He pauses, hoping he’s not overstepping or speaking out of turn.] I didn’t want it, and with no disrespect or disregard for the gesture, I’m glad it didn’t… stick, but I know it wasn’t something you’d do out of malice. Why the hell would you try and keep me around if you didn’t at least like me?
You would have been a terrible vampire in the long term. A lovely one, but a headache.
{ For the best, perhaps. Those who are turned so often have malice towards their makers, whether immediate or over time. He's always expected that to catch up to Neal even if he's human again. Some of that discontent must be lurking somewhere in there. }

I think you’re probably right.
