It was a nice, bright morning in Los Angeles, just a few days before Lucifer's self-imposed ultimatum about leaving ended. He remained on a quest to apologize for his therapist-inflicted overthinking and subsequent attempts to break up with Duke and Octavia, and so, today...

...Today it was time to spoil Octavia with a visit to the Aquarium of the Pacific.

He hummed brightly to himself as he paid for their tickets, then slid past the nice cashier and into the aquarium properly.

[[ for two, and some ocd. everything taken and adapted from Lucifer episode 5x14, 'Nothing Lasts Forever'. ]]

"There better not be," Octavia replied, and managed something closer to a dry drawl.

See, she was getting back into the swing of things.

Lucifer chuckled. "Promise to let you punch anyone who makes trouble for us," he said, tugging her in the direction of the otter exhibit.

From:

Octavia let him pull her along, this time.

"Good."

Not that she needed his permission.

Lucifer tugged her along, smile growing brighter as they approached the exhibit. "So where do you want to go first?" he said. "The above water part, or do you want to watch them swim first?"

From:

Octavia took a beat to think, though it was less thinking and more going with her gut, regardless.

"Swimming."

From:

"As you wish," Lucifer said, and smiled even wider, tugging her down towards the stairs.

Octavia followed along, finally beginning to settled back into her curiosity, looking around as they moved.

And, you know, she didn't rush towards the exhibit, but she definitely didn't dally.

They found themselves in a blue-lit fake cave, a large glass wall separating them from-- quite a number of adorable fuzzy things, rolling about and diving into the water.

"Well, look at that," Lucifer said. "Entirely untraumatic."

From:

okteiviakom

"Entirely," Octavia agreed, but she already sounded a little distracted. Because, well.

Otters.

Lucifer chuckled. "I'll just sit here, then," he said, and picked a spot on a bench to Octavia-watch.

It was similar to how Octavia had been with the sharks: she watched the animals keenly, like she didn't want to miss anything. Occasionally smiled to herself, faint and soft, when something called for it.

And when she turned, with the intention of commenting on something, she happened to instead catch sight of a sign. It said Adopt An Animal.

And so she pointed at it: "Did you see that?"

Lucifer looked over with a briefly confused frown before his expression settled. "Ah, right," he said, "one of those 'sponsor an otter' deals. Wh--"

Wait. Octavia.

"Interested?"

From:

okteiviakom

"Yeah," Octavia said, and looked at the sign again.

From:

"You know it's just a certificate and some updates about the creature," Lucifer said, as he pulled out his phone. "...ah, and a meet and greet and a behind the scenes visit at the higher tier."

From:

okteiviakom

And a plush and a tote bag! Come on, Lucifer.

Octavia rolled her eyes at him, though it was good-natured. "I didn't think it was like buying an animal, Lucifer."
