Lucifer had never been especially generous with his powers. But now that he couldn't help if he tried, he has to wonder how humans deal with being so helpless all the time.

"I would-"

If he could.

"Ice packs seemed to help when I was sick."

[maddest]

"Yes, but you're an ice-monster."

He reminds him, smiling indulgently.

"Get me a blanket?"

[thelightbringer]

"I prefer the term snowman."

He ruffles Break's hair, then gets up and finds one of their many ratty blankets. He takes him the heaviest one.

"I found a willing servant to take care of those beehives I found."

[maddest]

"Honey."

Nostalgic, stretching out a little more.

[thelightbringer]

"Oceans of it, maybe. However much three hives will give you two."

He absently checks Break for fever, the way Unohana had taught him and Castiel to do.

[maddest]

He's fine, it's just a bit of overtiredness. He does smile at the attentiveness, though.

"Is that right?"

[thelightbringer]

"But Gabriel is a glutton, so..."

He meets Break's gaze.

"You might have to thumb wrestle him or tie him up in a basement."

[maddest]

"Don't get jealous when I do. It won't mean nearly as much as when I tie you up in my basement."

[thelightbringer]

That gets a laugh, a playful shove.

"You're such a brat. If you enjoy it, you'll have to make it up to me."

[maddest]

"You wish."

Gleeful, snuggling down in his blanket. Life could be worse.

[thelightbringer]

He stretches out his legs, quite cozy sitting there on the floor.

"You say that now, but the second you had him in chains you'd be thinking, 'But where's Lucifer? I need an angel who doesn't talk in references'."

[maddest]

"You do serve your purpose, don't you?"

Grinning.

[thelightbringer]

He snorts, and bites Break's lower lip lightly, despite whatever 'bug' Break is fending off.

"What 'purpose'? Keeping everyone on their toes?"

[maddest]

"And making me laugh."

Now and again.

[thelightbringer]

"Oh, that, yeah. I hear it's good for the heart. You know how I try to keep my vessel in shape."

[maddest]

"Beloved Nick?"

Smiling, settling deeper into the couch.

[thelightbringer]

"I wouldn't go that far."

Amused.

"I didn't know you were so fond of him."

[maddest]

"Tell me what kind of man he was?"

Curious.

[thelightbringer]

He was religious. Very...ordinary. He had one love his whole life, and they had one son together.

And then while he was at his boring job, someone broke into their little cottage and murdered his wife and baby. He wasn't so religious after that. He drank himself to sleep and never answered the door.

[maddest]

"...poor baby. He's gone, now?"

Otherwise Break would- he doesn't know.

[thelightbringer]

"Not- he should be. At home he would be. But no, here I sometimes feel him wake up."

He thinks it has to do with whatever has slowed his burning through Nick's body, but who can say?

[maddest]

"Next time you do, give me a poke."

Yawning.

[thelightbringer]

'Ahh...no promises. It's not pleasant."

[maddest]

"Whatever you think is best."

Looking at him with some worry, though.

[thelightbringer]

"He chose this."

He explains because Break has earned that much.

"But that doesn't mean it's easy on him."
