my_own_advocate | 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.

"Seems like it might be an interesting hobby for you," Lucifer said, sliding an arm around her shoulders.

From:

"Just a thought," Lucifer murmured. "I can picture you getting quite intent about that sort of thing."

From:

okteiviakom

Octavia rested her head against his shoulder, and gave a little sigh of her own, though much quieter and softer.

"We're going to have an excellent dinner in a bit," Lucifer murmured. "I precooked most of it, it just needs heating. So we have a little bit of time to just... enjoy."

This feeling that everything was all right right now. That she was with him, in every way possible.
