More nervous babbling. Lucifer rubbed at his face. "How about we let Dad come to a decision?" he called.
"What's it going to be, Dad?" Gabriel asked, pulling on Dad's apron. He remained silent. "Come on, one of us is worthy, right? Someone qualified?"
"Qualified." Lucifer rubbed at his face. "I don't think any of them have even run as much as a taco truck," he muttered.
Several of his siblings shot him angry looks.
"What?" he said, raising his voice. "You think running a celestial kingdom is easy? What, you think knowing how to twirl a staff or look pretty is going to accomplish anything--"
"Are you trying to insult Hajobadiel?!"
You know what? Lucifer hadn't missed his family even one bit.
