u'd think armand's a child who can't say don't call me that if he finds arun so offensive/painful especially when louis who has no material power over him after all it's the same scene where he absolutely rejects louis' advice where santiago is concerned with the coven

Unlike the Amadeo name, which he (unfortunately), has some positive connotations with, Arun knew absolutely nothing but pain. I thought when I watched that the acting choices were fairly clear in this particular moment. Does this look like a man who's comforted hearing that name?
