For all of the celestial stuff in her life, Ella hasn't needed to deal with a real and proper everything on the line apocalypse thing. Well, at least as far as she knows she hasn't, it's probably something she should talk to Lucifer about later. But the point is that she doesn't know what it's like to know that your world is under a super like real threat and that you know who could possibly save you but also who will definitely fuck doing that up. "Wow." Ella says after a second. "Heavy." And it's not her writing it off or anything like that, it's clear that it feels heavy to her, like all of the weight in the world is pressing down on them.

"You don't think Alex can bring him around?" Because while she has no doubt that Strand would be a complete moron about things, Ella doesn't think that Alex Reagan is one. "I mean I'm pretty sure I scared him into stuff and he doesn't know me or like care about my feelings or whatever." And from what Ella has seen, Alex would do the same sort of thing.

"What do you think he should do instead? Maybe you and Alex could convince him like together. He definitely seems like the sort of guy who would be pretty persuaded by his girlfriend."
