Who: Lucifer and Murmur
What: The follow up to their earlier confrontation
Where: Observatory
Warnings: Celestials are giant children





Lucifer Morningstar. Here, on this sentient ship floating around in a vast unfamiliar universe. Unfallen, emotionally volatile and yet caring enough to not risk harming a mortal. To protect a mortal. Of all the timelines Murmur thought he might intersect one like this certainly didn't fall on his radar.

Perhaps he was losing his touch.

Of course, not completely. When the time came and he knew Lucifer was seeking him out he decided to make himself available. Preparing tea and having it fresh and ready for whenever the Devil himself managed to find him waiting and brooding in the Observatory. Nothing like the stars all around them to really set the mood for what was likely going to be a very uncomfortable conversation.

Murmur wasn't looking forward to it. This one should hopefully not end in coming to blows, at the very least.

It wasn't actually a thread Lucifer was offering - he's happy Murmur shut it down. Hilariously, it's not lewd at all - nothing about his relationship with Ella is sexual in any way, she's like a sister to him. If it had been lewd, he'd've been happy to talk about it in detail, as a matter of fact. But it's about like, his feelings and future stuff that he's still trying to process, so, yeah. Nope. Not inclined to discuss in detail right now.

"She's one of the most remarkable humans I've ever met," Lucifer says of Ella now, with no prevarication. It's a rarefied list - Doctor Linda and the Detective are the only other two on it, with perhaps Trixie making an appearance as well. "She is worth your time."

The one time Lucifer isn't being lewd and Murmur didn't even catch it. He'll learn to read him better with time, for now he's just glad they seem to be on better terms now. Truth was he could use some help in protecting the mortals on the ship, so if Lucifer had more incentive all the better. Feelings are hard, best just to ignore them in his opinion.

"A ringing endorsement, indeed. Of that I have no doubt. Now, if you'll excuse me. If you need me in the future you have but to ask."

That doesn't seem to be sarcasm. Which is weird. Most people - certainly other celestials - are unlikely to take any endorsement from him to heart.

Huh. He'll need to think about that for a bit.

"Right. We'll have to hunt down some good liquor together," he says with a faint smirk.

[albatrossomen]

Definitely not sarcasm. Lucifer has proven himself a staunch ally and friend to mortals, so there was no reason to discredit his opinions on them out of hand. Ultimately he wasn't going to judge this Lucifer on the actions of the one from his own universe. That would be irrational.

"I look forward to it." But, with their conversation at a close he didn't remain long. In what's probably a fairly familiar scene for Lucifer a brief gust of wind is all that signals that Murmur's dispersed.
