The Devil's Nest, Friday Evening

[my_own_advocate]

Lucifer had rather drawn out his vacation longer than necessary, hadn't he?

Ah, well.

He was back at the piano tonight. Apparently he was in a mood for something smooth and light, as evidenced by the gentle classical music flowing through the venue tonight.

Perhaps he'd work his way up to something louder later. Or he'd join Tiny at the bar to serve customers. He'd see how things worked out.

"Yeah, that's Steven," Marc said, rubbing his face tiredly. "Fucking stubborn."

Unlike Marc, of course.

"Luckily there's not too much for him to get into now but - " another shrug. "Be nice if he learned to leave well enough alone."

"He won't," Lucifer said, with authority, and took a swig of his drink. "But it's adorable that you're so-- whatever this is about it."

"Story of my life," Marc said with a sigh. Since that both covered the this as well as acknowledging that Lucifer was probably right.

"More booze?" Lucifer inquired.

Marc finished off his drink and held out the empty glass as a yes.

"Tiny," Lucifer said, snapping his fingers. (Tiny rolled his eyes and went to refill Marc's glass.) "And any news from your own front, so to speak?"

"Not much," Marc said. "Steven had some shit to deal with so I was staying out of his way."

And feeling incredibly guilty since said shit was technically Marc's fault, but Marc wasn't going to say that out loud.

"Mainly trying to get the lay of the land again now that he's back on saying I need the body more."

"You say that as if it's almost a bad thing," Lucifer said, eyeing him strangely.

"He nags," Marc said. "Sometimes I miss when he and I didn't talk."

Sometimes. Which, yanno, big admission from Marc there to imply that by extension he liked a thing.

"Right, well, sometimes fresh air and fresh alcohol is good for the soul," Lucifer said gravely, "So he may have a point."
