A Spot in the Preserve, Sunday Evening

Lucifer and Octavia had their Sunday rituals down to a T. And that-- well, that made Lucifer a bit contrarian, at times. There was nothing wrong with their tradition, healing as it was, but doing the same thing over and over again wasn't always that exciting.

And, all right. Perhaps he was still processing his own healing breakdown a week after the fact.

So he'd promised Octavia a surprise. Shown up with some take out bags and a smile.

She'd probably figured out where they were going well before the first trees came into view. It was a bit chilly, that couldn't be helped, but still: Lucifer thought the ambiance would help. "Almost there."

Her eyes were looking a little big.

Flying lower cut down on some of the surreal of it all, but being a little closer to touching distance brought with it its own sense of weirdness.

It was a lot.
okteiviakom: ([neu] something genuine)

Well, he didn't have to tell Octavia twice.

She held on tight, looking around to figure out what he was planning.
okteiviakom: ([neu] bring me good news)

Octavia's laugh was a startled, slightly broken sound.

Because this was ridiculous.
okteiviakom: ([pos] hey baby (literally))

"It's not."

But it was that in a way that seemed to make her laugh - even if it was in a bewildered sort of way. So, probably still helpful.
okteiviakom: ([pos] lightest you'll ever be)

And Octavia just found herself snickering some more, her face turned against the crook of his neck.
okteiviakom: ([pos] downwardly amused maybe)

[personal profile] okteiviakom 2022-03-22 10:25 am (UTC)(link)
There wasn't much 'closer' left for her to go, anymore. She was there, snug in his arms.

Though as her laughter died down again, she was slowly turning her head, to take a peek at the view.
okteiviakom: ([neu] a change of scene)

Octavia was looking down towards the ground. Even if it made her feel a little woozy to do so.

"Yeah," she murmured.
okteiviakom: ([neu] neutral ground)

[personal profile] okteiviakom 2022-03-22 10:52 am (UTC)(link)
"It's just so... empty."

Even with her hesitation, that still didn't feel like the right word. Octavia frowned gently to herself, trying to think of another one.
okteiviakom: ([neu] hope)

[personal profile] okteiviakom 2022-03-22 11:51 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah," Octavia murmured. "I just mean like..."

Like they were a little closer to space than to the ground, somehow.

"There's nothing up here but us."
okteiviakom: ([neu] a change of scene)

"Not even birds, right now," Octavia said, tipping her head against his shoulder a little.

She paused.

"Unless you count."

(Maybe she was getting over some of the initial shock of being up here.)
okteiviakom: ([pos] oof)

[personal profile] okteiviakom 2022-03-22 08:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Octavia snorted.

"Is that so?"
okteiviakom: ([pos] pallas athene)

[personal profile] okteiviakom 2022-03-22 10:14 pm (UTC)(link)
"Foshou," Octavia replied, "sora."
