From Lucifer's Penthouse to Los Angeles, Monday Evening

[my_own_advocate]

Right. Lucifer considered himself again in the walk-in mirror. Was his bow-tie properly tied? The rest of the white tux was immaculate, but the tie...

Look, he'd managed to finally come out of hiding on the Rouge a few days ago. He'd spoken to miss Lopez, and discovered almost no time had passed. Which had come in handy for when Linda had come over to yell at him about how hard it was to find an elementary school for a child that was only a year old on paper. And then... time had gone on.

Amenadiel had yelled at him again, but he'd ignored that.

No, if they were going to be in Los Angeles, he was... going to try and take his mind off of the whole God mess. No one needed him self-actualizing anything else in a panic, right? So he'd arranged something special for tonight. A visit to the only magician's club in all the world...

"Now if only I could get this bloody bowtie right," he muttered, as he gave up, and finally stepped out of the walk-in, back into the apartment.

Lucifer had opened his mouth to say something no doubt ill-advised, but at least Duke distracted him from it. "Ah, I'll stay here," he said. "I need to see this case through, obviously."

Sure. Obviously.

Of course.

The expression on Octavia's face was looking a little tight, but she took Duke's arm. Hopefully that was enough indication she was taking his suggestion, since she didn't say anything.

It seemed like a reasonable assumption, yes.

Duke leaned down to give Lucifer a quick kiss. “See you at the boat when you’re done.”

"Of course," Lucifer said, inclining his head. "I will endeavour not to be long."

Octavia continued to say nothing, and wasn't really in a kissing mood.

But she reached out and briefly brushed her fingers over Lucifer's sleeve. It was enough for right now.

Duke gave her arm a squeeze as he aimed them for the exit.

That hadn’t gone how any of them had thought. But hopefully Lucifer would enjoy the rest of his evening without having to worry about them.

As much as anyone could enjoy a murder investigation, anyway.
