my_own_advocateIt 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.

Date: 7 Jun 2022 08:35 (UTC)"You never asked why, but I'm gonna tell you anyway," she said. "I don't have sexy preferences right now, because they change, they come and go, they're based on -- whatever I feel like at the time, whatever was hottest most recently, that kind of thing. And I don't... That's a distant thing right now. There's nothing anchoring me to any preference, right now."

Date: 7 Jun 2022 10:02 (UTC)Suppose she should have said more, but more didn't seem to be coming to her.
no subject
Date: 7 Jun 2022 10:03 (UTC)Softer, this time.
no subject
Date: 7 Jun 2022 10:05 (UTC)Also softer.
no subject
Date: 7 Jun 2022 10:21 (UTC)Reached for her hand again.
"Would you like to head back outside, onto the deck?" Lucifer asked gently. "We'll have some ice cream and watch the sun set."
no subject
Date: 7 Jun 2022 10:34 (UTC)"Sure," she murmured, "okay."
no subject
Date: 7 Jun 2022 10:39 (UTC)He rose up from his seat. "All right."
no subject
Date: 7 Jun 2022 10:51 (UTC)It wasn't so much a squeeze that her hand gave his, as it was just her hand... tightening around his. And then staying that way.

no subject
Date: 7 Jun 2022 11:15 (UTC)Taking her other hand as he did. "I'll go get the ice cream."
no subject
Date: 7 Jun 2022 11:30 (UTC)Giving both his hands a squeeze.
no subject
Date: 7 Jun 2022 11:36 (UTC)Only then did he drop her hands, and slip past her back into the cabin.

no subject
Date: 7 Jun 2022 12:12 (UTC)He just hoped they could clear the air enough to enjoy it.
But for now, he took the two ornate bowls - all pretty colors, like a blurred rainbow - and filled each with three scoops: mango, cherry, lemon sorbet. (They tasted good. He'd made them, after all. Nothing store-bought for his people.)
And so he returned to the deck not long after. "Here we are," he said, holding one bowl out for her.
