You and he both! Plans were pretty hard to make back home, but here? Here made home in Hell feel like the height of organization some days.
But Lucifer gave permission, and was happy to have that slight weight off his shoulders. He wouldn't scream his name off the rooftops, but he hadn't heard his own name spoken in so long that- surely- it'd be a treat to hear it from her.
He had no idea, fool that he was.
There was speaking a name, making conversation. But then there was taking a word and wrapping it in aural silk, from a voice he adored listening to, with a laugh that was infectious and stuck in his head. The heat of the hot spring came right back and drove up the color in his face, giving him a rather sunny shade of yellow.
Pardon him and the way he stared. To be addressed so warmly, name and all, was something he wanted so damned much. But his chest felt tight, and tighter still as a guarded secret was placed freely into his hands, with a touch to his forehead.
Oh... God. He didn't deserve this at all.
Lucifer tried on a smile, charmed by such warmth, even if he felt like he was holding such a precious, fragile thing right now. "But... that's so important to you, isn't it? I'm- I'm honored, but there was no need to be 'fair' at all...!"
