Because I don't think you do know. He buffers it- tells you all he'll kill me if I don't toe a line. And it's true, one of us or both of us would end up dead.
He makes it sound like he's only close so he can muzzle me. That's not how it really is. And the more you're around us...
It's not really a "words can express it" sort of thing.
[Which is true of nearly all Lucifer's relationships, including the close bond he has with Gabriel...the brother he raised, and who he also murdered without remorse.]
There's always something to do. Planning, building. Working. Undertaker doesn't sleep, and you know how Yuca is, so sometimes I go bother them. But if Xerxes is home, like I said, I'll watch his dreams. It's something he came up with--I think me pacing kept him up. Or he thought I was just playing when I said I didn't need the rest, who knows.

He cares about me. Some would even say 'a lot'. And not because I've manipulated him.

Stick around. Then we'll see.

Date: 2012-06-21 05:07 am (UTC)Well, I don't need to. Every now and then I'll put down the book and watch a dream. Why?
no subject
Date: 2012-06-21 05:08 am (UTC)[Softly.]

Date: 2012-06-21 05:14 am (UTC)... I used to sit at night, back when I didn't have a body that could sleep -- and I would stare at the wall. Awake, alone in my own head.
Now, it's like the same thing but with hallucinations.
