my_own_advocateIt 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'. ]]

Aquarium of the Pacific, Morning

Date: 10 Aug 2021 10:27 (UTC)He wanted to have a cookout, Amenadiel had said.
He'd invited the entire family, Amenadiel had said.
And lo and behold, Lucifer's brother hadn't lied. Unfortunately. Lucifer arrived at the field with Amenadiel and his
shieldhumans in tow, and found himself having to just stand there and stare for a while. His siblings were everywhere, dressed in whatever period's clothing they preferred. Wings in shades of grey, brown and black were openly out everywhere, with apparently no fear for mortal eyes.And Dad was in the center of it all, tending the grill underneath the large 'Happy Retirement' sign.
He had a headache. Lucifer, that is.
"Oh, bloody Hell."

Re: Aquarium of the Pacific, Morning
Date: 10 Aug 2021 15:04 (UTC)He gestured at the section reading 'Shark Lagoon' up ahead. "They're supposed to be very good."
Or, well. Popular with children. But he wasn't saying that bit out loud.

Date: 10 Aug 2021 15:07 (UTC)That was a lot of angels in one place, and the wings were just hammering that home in an uncomfortable way.

She was already going.

There was a concrete barrier set up to contain the water of the touch pool, but it only reached hip-height even for the children. It was full of rays and smaller sharks, swimming circles, sometimes coming up to the side to welcome the questing hands of the visitors.

Date: 10 Aug 2021 18:05 (UTC)"Higuysheardyoutalkingaboutmelongtimenoseegladyoucouldmakeit." An angel in a flowing blue robe pushed her way between them, the sun shining off of her necklace of metal feathers. "Archangels, assemble!" she enthused, in roughly the same tone of voice, raised her fists, then slammed one fist into her palm. She slowed down only about a tenth of a second more per word as she continued, "Azrael says hi, wishes she could be here, but you know, no rest for the Angel of Death..."

Date: 10 Aug 2021 18:08 (UTC)Did she already know that? How much did the angels know about Lucifer's partners? Or life on Earth generally?
