Devil's Nest, Friday Evening

[my_own_advocate]

Some nights were piano nights. Some other nights were gremlin big band nights.

Tonight, apparently, was a 'local rock band' night. To be fair, Lucifer had made sure to pick one that didn't make sad Ed Sheeran-derivatives, and they were actually a bit uptempo. But still: local rock band.

"Well, this is an experiment," he mused from the bar, sipping a martini.

The Devil's Nest was open.

"You're better," Seivarden said, leaning against the bar. "Does that mean I'm giving you a compliment or criticizing your choice in musicians?"

[my_own_advocate]

Lucifer considered it.

"I'm going to take it as a compliment," he said, "Since that improves my evening, whereas the insult would not."

[1000yearstoolate]

"Good. It was meant as one."

She ordered a whisky from Tiny.

"I got some really good tea left over from my class today. We should try it."

[my_own_advocate]

"When you put it like that, it almost sounds like a narcotic," Lucifer said, amused. "What kind of tea?"

[1000yearstoolate]

"I do like other thinks than narcotics," Seivarden pointed out. "And it's different ones from different parts of the world. I wanted them go get an idea of the variety of tea."

[my_own_advocate]

"I know, it's the 'really good tea' that made it sound like it had something extra in it," Lucifer said. The only reason he wasn't going to suggest they actually do so was that he suspected that'd be a great way to get Seivarden to try to slap him.

[1000yearstoolate]

She would at least be horrified.

"Do do have some new really good weed too if you prefer that."

[my_own_advocate]

"Why not do both?" Lucifer said brightly. "Smoke some weed and drink some good tea to prevent a sore throat."

[1000yearstoolate]

"That combination is completely unacceptable," Seivarden said, mock offended.

"I'm teasing you. It's a good idea."

[my_own_advocate]

"Oh good," Lucifer said, grinning. "Here I was steeling myself for a fight."

[1000yearstoolate]

"You won't get one."

Seivarden leaned in to give him a kiss.

[my_own_advocate]

"Better," Lucifer said, leaning into the kiss and dragging it out a bit.

[1000yearstoolate]

Seivarden wrapped her arms around his waist.

"Getting back to our plans, it's not a terrible combination."

[my_own_advocate]

Lucifer chuckled. "Have you done it before, then?"

[1000yearstoolate]

"I've spent a lot of time here with nothing to do," she said. "And someone gave me some weed."

She still had no idea why Sparkle had done that, but then his actions had rarely made much sense.

"I bet your life got a lot easier when you began to grow your own," Lucifer mused.

[1000yearstoolate]

Seivarden's life has also got a lot easier when she had made some friends.

"Yes. It's also more fun in company."

[my_own_advocate]

"Well, you know I'll toke with you any time," Lucifer said, leaning in to kiss her again. "It's quiet in here tonight. I might just lock up early and take this somewhere more interesting."

[1000yearstoolate]

"I like that idea. I did actually bring both the tea and the weed."

She had been planning ahead.

[my_own_advocate]

Another laugh. "Did you plan this?"

[1000yearstoolate]

"I planned to suggest it," she said. "I thought you might like the idea."

[my_own_advocate]

"Oh, it sounds like an absolutely excellent use of a Friday night," Lucifer said, grinning. "You do have some of the best ideas."

[1000yearstoolate]

"I try."

Seivarden kissed him again.

"Oh, and I've thought about something else."
