It's been a few days now. Is everything okay?

[factuallysatan]

Oh yes, darling, of course. How are you?

[solosection]

Slightly worried, Lucifer. It's rarely a good sign when you go quiet.

[factuallysatan]

I've... been quiet? I'm terribly sorry, it's just - the Detective came back, at last!

[solosection]

Oh. I'm glad! Well, I'm glad if she's doing right by you.

[factuallysatan]

I'm just hoping she's alright, really. But I'm sure she is. Right? Why wouldn't she be? It's been a month, surely that's enough time to... process my monstrosity.

[solosection]

You don't need processing, Lucifer. You need an apology.

Is she showing any signs that she's not alright?

[factuallysatan]

Don't be silly, why would I need an apology?

It's fine. It's completely fine, she simply needs... more time. Distance. It's just a tad hard for me to be there and give her space. It's such a difficult balance.

[solosection]

It's a difficult balance because if you want distance from someone, you usually don't want them to be there at all. You can't have it both ways.

[factuallysatan]

I - you think so? You think she doesn't want me there?

[solosection]

I don't know what she wants, but I know that if those are her signals, she isn't showing you that she does want you there clearly enough.

You shouldn't have to walk a tightrope around her. She's your friend.

[factuallysatan]

Not everyone's as fearless as you are. Elio.

I'm sorry you've been concerned. You're welcome to come by in the evening, if you like.

[solosection]

I'm not fearless.

However, I'd always like to come by.

[factuallysatan]

You seem to be.

Tonight, then. Please.

[solosection]

I'll be there.
