my_own_advocateLucifer 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."

Lucifer didn't dare break the silence further. So he didn't. He just... kept at it. Slow. Steady.

It was a lot.

Date: 22 Mar 2022 10:52 (UTC)Even with her hesitation, that still didn't feel like the right word. Octavia frowned gently to herself, trying to think of another one.
