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.

"Perhaps one day we'll visit," Lucifer said, smiling a bit. "It's quite colorful, India. Quite literally. Especially during Holi, which I think you'd enjoy. It's this festival where they throw colored powder around as they celebrate the coming of spring."

The edges of Octavia's lips twitched a little. "Colored powder?"

A shameless prompt, yes.

Lucifer nodded. "Let me find a picture," he said, reaching for his phone. "The images are quite vivid. I can already picture you dancing about in a cloud of pinks and purples and yellows..."

He held the phone out to her.

Octavia leaned over to look, and once again, her expression softened further.

"Is there music?"

Of course she'd ask.

Lucifer nodded. "They have their own traditional music for it," he said. "It's supposed to be a joyous festival, all about love and companionship and so on."

Octavia's nod was almost laughable in its sincerity. Also had a distracted quality about it, like she was still thinking it over. The whole concept of it.

"It sounds beautiful."

"I think... I think you would really love it," Lucifer admitted softly. "All that joy and colour and life."

From:

"I think so too."

That was barely more than a whisper, her gaze still lingering on the pictures, thinking about what it would be like.

"I want to show you so much of that," Lucifer murmured. "Anywhere we can find it."

Octavia finally relinquished his phone back to him.

"Well," she said, a wry curl to her lips again, like she'd been caught doing something she shouldn't be doing (but nothing too bad), "the ice cream is a good start."
