Well, nothing had gone catastrophically wrong since Duke left yesterday. Octavia and Lucifer had taken their portal, and found themselves standing immediately in the sunshine. Whatever burdens had laid on Lucifer's shoulders, many of them sloughed off at the sight of the sand and the surf.
Sometimes he missed Los Angeles, still. The beach helped. And while the temperatures could have been higher, they were comfortable, much more so than Fandom. So he had stretched, and set up the Fin and Tonic for inhabitation for the next few weeks, and that had been all.
And now he was here. Sitting on the edge of their pier, a pina colada in one hand, wearing a swimsuit that didn't quite aspire to the heights (or lows) of Eric's small speedos, his legs kicking idly over the water. There was a peace here he was desperate to embrace. He could only hope Octavia could find a fraction of it, as well.
(And Duke, out there on his boat, processing his demons.)

She'd slept heavy and dreamless, and felt kind of groggy even now, as she made her way down along the pier.

It'd do.

No comment, then.

(At some point here she might want to consider sitting down.)

no subject
Date: 24 Dec 2024 07:50 (UTC)Carefully, because of the things in her hands. She didn't want to drop her breakfast in the ocean, after all.
