Samsara, Sunday Evening

It wasn't a great idea to keep sticking to old traditions to the letter, Lucifer and Octavia had found last weekend. And so Lucifer had suggested something else for this Sunday night.

Samsara.

It was a place where she felt safe. And it could-- go somewhere else, for a nice change of scenery. "Should we take her to the back of the preserve? Or head further along the coast?" Lucifer asked, as he hopped aboard, basket of food in hand.

[[ for her ]]

"I think 'nostalgia' means it wouldn't be coming back," Octavia told him, a little more wry again. "It's going to come back."

On a long enough timeframe, anyway.

"But feel free to wallow."
okteiviakom: ([pos] easy talky)

"'Cause he's gorgeous no matter the position or the distance."

There was a fondness to her tone.

"Well, that's your preference," Octavia told him with a faint teasing note, now. "I don't think I could pick one."

A beat, maybe a little hesitation.

"But he is really pretty when he... gives in like that."
okteiviakom: ([pos] a breeze)

[personal profile] okteiviakom 2022-06-06 07:15 pm (UTC)(link)
"You're the one who said he's particularly gorgeous like that," Octavia pointed out. "That has nothing to do with how much I enjoy it."
okteiviakom: ([pos] oof)

[personal profile] okteiviakom 2022-06-06 07:32 pm (UTC)(link)
"Did I say it was?" Octavia wondered. "Did I say anything about that, actually?"
okteiviakom: ([neu] I am always right)

"Why would something good feel like a 'grey blob'?"

The air quote-y little gesture may have been Duke's influence.
okteiviakom: ([pos] oof)

[personal profile] okteiviakom 2022-06-06 07:55 pm (UTC)(link)
"Feeling really encouraged to share my thoughts and feelings here, Lucifer," Octavia rasped, though not unkindly.
okteiviakom: ([neu] uh huh uh huh)

[personal profile] okteiviakom 2022-06-06 08:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Octavia looked genuinely surprised, at that.

"Judgmental? How?"
okteiviakom: ([neu] yuh huh)

[personal profile] okteiviakom 2022-06-06 08:23 pm (UTC)(link)
"Riiight," Octavia said, slowly. Not looking terribly impressed, in all honesty. "Feels like you're reading way into me not having a preference on what position Duke looks prettiest in."
okteiviakom: ([neu] I am always right)

[personal profile] okteiviakom 2022-06-06 08:37 pm (UTC)(link)
"If you feel judged when I don't have an opinion about one small thing the way you do," Octavia replied, leaning back in her seat again (her fingers slipping away from his), "I don't know what to tell you. You have a preference and I love that you do, even if it's mostly because I love listening to you talk to me about it. That doesn't mean I'm gonna have one, too, and that doesn't mean anything."
okteiviakom: ([neu] i had a dream once)

[personal profile] okteiviakom 2022-06-06 08:47 pm (UTC)(link)
"Why not?"

The exasperation was genuine. And so was the hint of helplessness that went with it.
okteiviakom: ([neu] yuh huh)

[personal profile] okteiviakom 2022-06-06 09:17 pm (UTC)(link)
"What, so you think I have no preference about anything now?"
