[ Hmm. He mulls Elio's words over, his stance not changing even the slightest bit when the other man accidentally bumps into him, trying to avoid getting run over by some great lug. So, apparently it felt like he'd been trying for a bit of B&E which, honestly, that's not how it's supposed to be at all. It's not a... a violation. Humans are supposed to want it, crave it, so much that they can't contain themselves.
He's never met someone to whom it felt like... like something bad or awful. He's not sure what to do with that, honestly.
Oh, but there's the first, obvious response: ]
I apologise.
[ He looks down at his own feet for a second, then back at Elio. Sips his coffee, the strong taste of the Scotch burning its way pleasantly down his throat. ]
It never feels like that to people. Other people, I mean.
[ He sighs and takes them down a side-street, no less busy than the one they've left. They're about an hour's walk from the precinct but seeing as no one's asking him to hurry, he's not going to rush it. Elio's sweet. Easy to talk to, as well. Would've been lovely, though, if he'd had even the slightest idea as to why he's apparently immune to the divine. To Lucifer, anyhow. If any of his siblings - aside from Amenadiel who's too busy being powerless and as such, useless in this particular context as well as many others - ever felt like talking to him, perhaps he could've had a few tests to see whether it's just him.
But it feels like it, somehow. That this has to do with him, like it might just be on a different scale from what he's used to. ]
