The Devil's Nest, Tuesday Night

[my_own_advocate]

It was Tuesday, and the Devil was done sleeping off the weekend. It had been an inspiring one, especially near the end, as one could tell by the music flowing from his piano right now.

Well, maybe it had been that, and 'googling how to make anaemic pop palatable'.

Either way, you could kind of tell what he was playing if you squinted.

Lucifer.

"Yeah, not so much. He seems to be in the know about now, though. Apparently his new partner talked him into it."

Audrey was very persuasive.

Yes, well, Lucifer's self-delusion was beyond advanced and into full PhD. thesis level, all right?

"I suppose that's... some kind of relief."

"She's a pistol. And -- possibly the reincarnation of a woman who helped me out as a kid."

"Seems unlikely, but continue."

Duke snorted. "I'm not sure anything's actually unlikely in Haven. She looks exactly like her. Except for her hair."

"They could just be related," Lucifer pointed out.

Re: Talk to Lucifer

[betterthanaplan]

"They could," Duke agreed. "Audrey thinks Lucy might be her mom, apparently. I don't know, though. Most daughters don't look exactly like their moms."

"Human genetics are weird, I'm told," Lucifer said, shrugging.

Re: Talk to Lucifer

"They can be," Duke said. "They're not cloning, though." He shook his head. "Anyway. Maybe she is Lucy's kid. That's still . . . Lucy was good people. Audrey seems to be, too."

"Could be time-displaced twins," Lucifer said, APROPOS OF NOTHING. "Still sounds like your Nathan's in decent enough hands."

Re: Talk to Lucifer

[betterthanaplan]

"Yeah. Maybe." Duke didn't sound totally convinced of that, just yet. "One woman can't fix everything though."

LITTLE DID HE KNOW.

Considering, you know, everything over the past few days, Lucifer just sort of tilted his head and Looked at Duke.

Sadly, it had nothing to do with any predictive abilities, it was just the one-person-can't-fix-everything thing.

Re: Talk to Lucifer

"I'm not trying to fix him, I'm just trying to help keep him a little safer."

Re: Talk to Lucifer

[my_own_advocate]

"I didn't say or think you were," Lucifer clarified, "Just that it's a bit rich to hear you insisting one person can't magically fix your ex-boyfriend."

"Yeah, yeah. Irony's my middle name." Duke lifted his chin at the bourbon bottle. "Pass that over, would you?"

Re: Talk to Lucifer

[my_own_advocate]

"Yes sir, Duke Irony Crocker," Lucifer drawled, rolling his eyes.

... and then passing the bourbon.
