[He looks around them, but his vision is as blurry as Break's probably is.]

How long has it been? I warded- don't remodel anytime soon, the wards are carved- [So that no one can see them, so no shinigami or other angels can decipher or alter them.

But he looks at Break again, finally.

Do I still stay here?

[He should nod--he manages that much--and then offer an off the cuff remark, like 'where's the tea'. But his mind hasn't caught up that far yet. It's still somewhere between the Cage where Michael is screaming, and his next step here, whatever that is supposed to be.

He leans his head against the wall and grips Break's shirt between his thumb and forefinger, concentrating on the feel of it. The very real stitching, the softness that comes with aging in a rough environment like this one. It's aging, but it's real.

Miss me?

I told you I would. First stop out of Hell was the living room.

[He tries a smile, but Nick's body isn't quite ready for an expression so it doesn't quite make it.]

I always keep my promises, remember?

[Lucifer lets him go, examines the room. Finds the tea set, and sets it out to test if he can keep Nick's hands steady. He's satisfied that he can do that; having some control grounds him, starts gears turning again.

As he moves past Break to check for cream, he impulsively pulls Break's head back with his hand under his chin, exposing his throat. But all he does is kiss the corner of his mouth and murmur:
]

I'll always come back.

[And then he lets go, and resumes cream-hunting.]

[It's exactly the sort of reaction Lucifer needed. There's a trickling sense of stability which he welcomes, and he sets the cream on the table and then joins Break by the tea pot.]

That makes you the most faithful man here.

[Lucifer waits until his cup is poured, then pulls it to him, before he answers.]

I lost.

What did I miss here?
thelightbringer: (oh yes?)

No hijinx from the Animus? I'm disappointed in them.

[He sips the tea, looks at Break's cup as a memory finally settles clearly in his mind]

I was going to find some bees-
thelightbringer: (sigh)

It means I lost. Everything.

[There is no exaggeration in what he's saying. Everything is gone for him now, even the last two people who wanted to get him out.]

I asked Michael to stop, and he wouldn't. And then Castiel- he killed Raphael for trying to get us out of the Cage. And now, the only demon who could have freed me again is strung up on the racks.

[His voice falls lower, barely audible.]

I am never getting out.
thelightbringer: (huh)

[Lucifer reaches a hand across the table, then looks at it and considers withdrawing it.]

Come here.

[Not that there's much space, it's a small table, but things are...strange to him right now. Disorienting.]

I should have brought you a souvenir. 'My Angel Went to Hell and All I Got Was This Lousy T-Shirt'. Something like that.

[He can manage his usual snarkiness when he has support, when he doesn't feel like he's teetering on an edge.]

As bad as this place is, I'm glad you're still stuck in it.
thelightbringer: (but lucy those are illegal)

This.

[He leans back a little, tugs on Nick's ratty green t-shirt to show him.]

Yes.

[Gravely.]

I am Satan. The poster child.

Why, do you want to wear it? We could be a pair; Juliet made me new shirts after our adventure in the Tunnels.
thelightbringer: (are you stupid)

You don't like my wardrobe?

[Though he's fairly sure Nick's pants, at least, would be far too long.]
