"The plan was for if you got all your grace back, we didn't think the monster would happen. We weren't prepared for everything, but to be fair to both of us, we've never had one of these." Istredd may have more of them, but they were boxed in and had better boundaries. Lucifer just experienced an example of it with feeling Yennefer through it, and how much clearer her lines were with Istredd.
He reaches up to caress Lucifer's cheek. "I don't care about that." About whether he'd get all of himself back in that scenario. That isn't the point. The point is it's either both of them coming back from it or neither of them. If Lucifer kills him, he does. That's part of the deal, in Istredd's opinion.
"Let's fix the actual problem, my love, and we can work out the details in a second." They can do both, it's more a case of fixing the worst wound first. Like usual Istredd doesn't need to touch Lucifer's temple, it's more physical contact helps. He doesn't need to push inside, they already are bleeding into each other.
Istredd for the first time shows his extraordinary precision, something he absolutely did not use when they started this. He could always have been this careful. Not great. It is much like having a laser as he separates the worst crossovers and creates lines between them. Metaphorically more like a surgical fix. It gives them the relief of clearing the bleeds without completely dislodging the bond. This would be very difficult to do with anyone else, but Lucifer's mind is too familiar now, he knows where the places need to get cut.
