Politics at some point evolved to a point that heat cycles could be cause for attempted coups. Lucifer didn't like the idea of putting his wife and close to him in an attempt in danger. He worked with Ozzie to help develop suppressors. Something supplied to only the Sins and selected royals. Make it easier for just the elite to schedule their Heats at the safest time.
After Lilith left, he stopped bothering with them. His Heat cycle and depression fighting one another was an interesting mess only his staff and Ozzie were privy to witness. Through encouragement, Ozzie managed to convince Lucifer to at least keep taking some medication for the Heat cycle if he wasn't going to do anything about the depression.
Thankfully, he slowly began to pull himself out of it, and bury himself with work. Plenty of paperwork piled up and he begrudgingly began to do it. Paperwork somehow eventually meant corresponding with Heaven, which turned to meetings. He hated them, but...it kept things organized.
He had one coming up and it wasn't able to be rescheduled, despite how hard he tried. His Heat had officially started and even though he was on the suppressants, it didn't leave him in his best mood.
Still, he went. Sure of himself...until he arrived in Hell's embassy in Heaven. At first he thought they were merely being dramatic by making the place hotter than it actually was. As he waited for his meeting to start and the representative to arrive, he became warmer and unfocused...the slight early tellings of a Heat starting. But...how? He's been taking the dosages! On time and without fail!
He didn't want to seem as weak, and he told himself that the effects were coming on slowly. He could breeze through this meeting without issue and then make it home and deal with his Heat on his own.
Then he saw who it was who came to meet him for this meeting. He felt somewhat hopeful. Maybe this meeting will get done even faster!
