it's silent. that's what he believes surprises him the most about michael's presence here. lucifer hasn't looked to him, hasn't even made a move to acknowledge his existence here; he had figured michael would do that part for him, but - there's a strange ... feeling, that comes with the quiet company. a feeling that he doesn't expect to get from anyone, much less him. it's a comfort. it gives him the room he needs in his mind to breathe. to process.
mortality is a fucky thing. but he had never truly experienced it, not properly. not until the life of a child that he had promised to protect, had been taken away.
did michael know about that? is that why he's here? why else?
"you've gone five whole minutes without a sarcastic comment." he finally says. and he thinks it's the first time in a long, long time that his tone portrays an actual softness towards michael. and now - he follows it up with something that he is unsure if he has ever said.
" ... thank you."
