Duke was a pony. Duke was a pony. Octavia was human again and Duke was a goddamn talking unicorn with clipart on his butt.

This was not Duke's best morning ever.

For instance, he was, in fact, having a great deal of trouble working out how to open -- literally anything, but especially the doors on his boat -- without hands.

It was a good thing Lucifer was coming over. When he got there, he'd be able to find Duke easily enough, based on all the shouting and kicking the door he was doing.

[for that darling devil]

Yes. Yes, Duke was hard to miss.

Lucifer wandered onto the boat, down into the belly of the damned thing, and reached for the door to Duke's cabin.

He probably should have forewarned Duke before he yanked it open, but, oh well.

They were both lucky that despite Lucifer's spoiled rich guy aesthetic, he was actually an ancient celestial with superhuman reflexes, because he swerved away from Duke's hoof just in time to see it soaring past him.

"Right," he said. "Clearly, I should have also brought the pot."

"I brought both hay and a sandwich," Lucifer said, gesturing at the counter behind Duke.

He secured the hatch door as well as he could - if it fell shut again, Duke would be right back where he'd started.

"She told me she took money."

Lucifer sighed, walking past the pony to start picking things up. "I did, after you called this morning," he said. "She's not a pony, and she's off the island. She took the Samsara. I'm going to see her later today."

Leaving poor Lucifer to grab a broom and quickly clean up what items on the counter hadn't made it.

"What on Earth happened?" he asked.

Lucifer plucked the largely intact sandwich off the countertop and set it down on the bench in front of Duke.

"And that was all?"

"She probably just needs time to blow off steam," Lucifer said, "Eating all that garbage for a month can't be good for a human's ability to process."

"I doubt she hates you," Lucifer said, after a long moment. (He really did not feel equipped for this conversation.) "It is still Octavia."

"Well, that is more of a you issue, and less of a her one," Lucifer said.

He sat down on the bench on the other side of the table.

"Can we please have just one pity party at once, please?" Lucifer said, reaching past him gingerly to secure the sandwich.

"It's Octavia," he said again. "You give her time and a silence she can fill to her own liking when she comes back. And you don't try to take control."

"Well, I would call that a fairly obvious hint," Lucifer said, pointedly dropping the sandwich in front of him. "Besides, weren't you the one who didn't even know what you wanted to say to her if she came back? Maybe sort that out while you have the time. And the whole self-hatred thing."

Date: 2020-11-14 05:37 pm (UTC)
my_own_advocate: (lucifer - sincere explanation)
From: [personal profile] my_own_advocate
"That's the absolute worst time to come up with something to say."

Take it from Lucifer!

"Now eat something. You're not going to get Octavia back by starving yourself and tearing at your hair with your hooves wailing about how you're the worst person to walk the Earth."

"I tried that and I turned into an extremely unattractive version of myself," Lucifer said, "and I really don't need to know what that looks like from the outside with your pirate beard inexplicably slapped onto it."
