"Ah," Lucifer said.

He looked out over the water, too.

Duke let that hang for another beat, then shrugged. “Anyway. As I got older, I learned to appreciate the peacefulness of it, you know? Things get loud and the fish run away.”

"Fish meditation," Lucifer supplied, tossing him a small smile.

[betterthanaplan]

“Fine, fish meditation,” Duke said, amused. “Meditation that ends in food.”

"If you're lucky," Lucifer said, amused. "I'm not seeing you bring in any fat, fresh fillets yet."

[betterthanaplan]

"Patience, babe," Duke chided. "It's all about patience."

"You could be out here all night," Lucifer pointed out. "If you really wanted to catch something."

[betterthanaplan]

"Sometimes. Especially if you keep talking," Duke said. He didn't sound like he'd mind.

[my_own_advocate]

Lucifer chuckled. "What, are the fish going to hear us?"

[betterthanaplan]

"You laugh, but they do. And get scared away."

"So you truly don't get to do anything but sit here," Lucifer said, eyeing the fishing rod in his hands dubiously.

[betterthanaplan]

“Sit and wait for them to bite,” Duke said. “And enjoy quiet company and ponder the nature of the universe.” He leaned against Lucifer’s side. “Fish meditation.”

"You are an incredibly strange man," Lucifer sighed.

As he wrapped his arm around Duke's shoulders. He didn't like the fishing, but he liked the strange man, and-- sigh, he was smiling like an idiot again.
