Istredd felt possessive and jealous himself when Kyle so much as got into Lucifer's personal space, so he understands. And also why he feels a little guilty now, but it was not hiding things in his mind, he really brushed it off.
"He did," he admits. "I told him my partner made the ravens. They were acting strangely when he arrived so I said I'd ask you to unmake them. He heard it." At the time Istredd had just been casually muttering at them. Obviously this was such an off-hand remark, it didn't stick with him until now.
"After that it was small talk but he flirted with me at the end. I can see now what he was doing." Istredd is so unused to being flirted with that he was confused. But many Summoned are like that, it never struck him as strange. "He kissed my hand and implied he'd be interested if we ... weren't working out. I insisted I was happily involved and pulled back my hand, and then that was it."
And now he feels bad about it because it struck him as insignificant so he didn't mention it. Robert in his mind was a new Summoned just trying to figure it all out. Now he can see that he wanted Lucifer to know just to mess with him.
