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."

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

"Yeah," she murmured.

"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.

"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."

"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.)

Octavia snorted.

"Is that so?"

"Foshou," Octavia replied, "sora."

okteiviakom: ([pos] but I do)

"And yet you're perched in a tree," Octavia replied, unrepentant. "Like a bird."

From: [personal profile] okteiviakom
"On a branch." A beat. "Like a bird."

okteiviakom: ([neu] yeah but like)
From: [personal profile] okteiviakom
Octavia finally relented, tipping her head against his shoulder again.

"I like birds," she murmured. "So does Duke."

"And we like you."

He was probably aware.

Octavia gave a soft snort.

"Anyway," she said, quietly. "I won't call you that if it offends you."

This next huff was even softer, even more quiet.

"Maybe a little."

But it was very him of him to be.
