The Perk, Sunday Afternoon

"It's been two," years, "months, you're really holding a grudge, aren't you?"

Seivarden snorted as the barista glared at her.

"All I want is loose leaf tea, the best quality you have, preferably prepared wearing gloves. Considering the strange mixed coffee drinks most people order here you can't claim that's hard."

Silently the barista began to prepare the tea. Seivarden waited, not letting her discomfort show. Yes, they were useless, but ignoring the insult would have been the proper way to deal with it, and she had failed that. She was back where she started, wasn't she? What had Breq been thinking? She had been doing well, mostly, she had had a place and a purpose, and now she was here again, it had felt different but it wasn't really, was it?

"Aatr's tits," she muttered, not even sure what she was cursing for, and picked up her tea and headed towards a table by the window.

Lucifer needed a plan. A contingency plan. Possibly a plan that could be executed before contingencies were necessary. A pre-contingency plan?

Whatever. He needed a plan to deal with Johnny before Constantine inevitably did whatever he was going to do, and he needed sugar to help him through it.

"You want the caramel double chocolate," said the barista, without looking up.

"Excellent," Lucifer enthused. "Yes. Quite necessary."

He hadn't spotted Seivarden yet.

That little phrase drifted his way, and Lucifer looked up and out into the cafe, briefly distracted. "Hm?"
my_own_advocate: (lucifer - ... uh huh)

Lucifer barely would have noticed if she hadn't smiled. He was a bit preoccupied at the moment.

"Not unless it has alcohol in it, and we both know how you feel about that," he said.

"Hot chocolate with caramel and--"

Lucifer took the cup and poured in a little from his flask. "A splash of whiskey. Bailey's would be better, but beggars can't be choosers."

"Quite," Lucifer said, and took a big sip of his drink. "Finally made peace with the baristas, have you?"

Why was he making small talk? He had important plotting to do.

"Thank you, but I don't have the time for chitchat," Lucifer said. (He was clearly going to have to find somewhere else to work on this.) "An old enemy has decided to return and make my life difficult, and I need to engineer some kind of protection."

Lucifer. Lucifer, Constantine's return had nothing to do with you.

"Him," Lucifer clarified. "You can't miss him. Wears a ratty trenchcoat at all times."

"Not a family issue, just a man with a longstanding habit of condemning his friends to Hell," Lucifer said pleasantly. He waved at Seivarden. "But I won't bother you and your tea any longer."

He headed for the door.
