The Devil's Nest, Tuesday Night

"Please tell me you weren't a child as well," Lucifer sighed. "If so, I dodged a bullet."

Tiny grunted the grunt of a man who did not want to discuss it, whatever it was, if there was even an 'it' to begin with.

"Fair enough."

At least tonight's piano theme had very little to do with childhood.

Octavia was mulling something over, too.

But not a change of topic.

"When I said it went decent," she rasped after a moment, "I didn't mean it was easy."

Octavia looked over at him, exasperated but in a muted, resigned sort of way.

"So the 'I'm going to run away for all of January over a fifteen-minute event' thing sounds extra dumb when some of us actually dealt with the entire weekend."

Well, he had a point there.

Octavia's gaze dropped back down to her glass.

"But I don't want to run away."

"You called it running away two seconds ago," Octavia pointed out. She didn't really want to touch the rest.

So she drank the last of her drink in one gulp, instead.

Because sometimes she was a masochist?

Or because sometimes there was worth to be found in spending your weekend with a younger version of the person who mattered to you the most, heartbroken you couldn't actually do anything to help the kid he'd been.

"Never mind, Lucifer," Octavia said, setting the empty glass on the counter. She caught Tiny's eye and shook her head. "Hope your next weekend's better."

No, he was not. And Octavia knew it.

Should have known about five minutes ago already, to be honest.

"I think I'm gonna go."
