[Except that Lucifer's siblings have been lied to for so long, this isn't an unexpected reaction. And from Joshua--who Lucifer is slowly beginning to see--that would be perfectly normal. Why find God?]
To hold Him accountable. He won't listen to me, or you...unless we make Him.
[It's Lucifer who stops it, halfway through, when his mind clears. As it often does it leaves him a little dazed, and horrified. And this time, nauseous. He hadn't divulged all that much, but mention of Michael, or missing him, was enough.]
...We should probably put an end to these little rendezvous. Don't you think.
[His expression is carefully guarded. He should know this. He should be able to recall what he's said. But he can't, because those memories are jumbled with the real ones of heaven, which are all out of place.]

I don't approve. But I think he's... good for you, more than you're bad for him. Most of the time.
I wish you two weren't taking this risk, but I understand why. And everyone else it too afraid to try anything. I'm willing to do my part.

[He's watching the other side of the wall, out toward the mountains. And he's relatively sure this is someone he knows. An angel.]
no subject
[Gently. He's fairly sure they're talking about the same thing.]
no subject
I just have to keep reminding myself that at the end of this all, he's coming away with me. And then we'll find God.

[The same thing he'd said earlier, but there's genuine regret in his tone now.]

[Al sighs, deeply.]
Lucifer, look at me?

...I wish Michael was here. I wanted him here to see how things had changed...how happy we could all be.
I was wrong.

Lucifer is disturbed, and he can see it.]

Oh? Learn anything juicy?
no subject
[He drops his shields, enough to let Luce know that he's telling the truth. That he didn't take advantage of it.]
I've been bringing you out of it quickly.
no subject
[And he does. He's just not entirely sure if Al realizes what a tactical advantage he's giving up. Ah, well. So much the better.]
But like I said, any soiree that ends in me zoning out is one that we shouldn't repeat.
no subject
Does anyone else have a way of bringing you out of it, if it happens down in the underground?
no subject
I doubt it happens around my brothers, because I know who they are.
no subject
[Gently.]
Talk to him.
