"You don't have to prove anything, I know they exist." Souls, he means, in a general sense. They just don't exist in terms that Lucifer is using now in his sphere. Probably there are people who think souls are powerful, but to this specificity, it is something new. Istredd's never given it this type of thought, but he also isn't from a sphere where it is this big of a subject.
Castiel using fifty-thousand souls to kill an archangel is a surprising bit of information, and it does give some semblance of scope in power levels.
Istredd reaches out to touch Lucifer's cheek and gently try to turn his head to face him, caressing his cheekbone. "Is that why you're afraid you'll lose all of this when you get your grace back? Because you're only like this since you're lacking?" It is a tough position to be in, to want him to get his power back so he can be happy, even if it comes with a potential personal loss.
"I don't disagree with you about humans in a general sense. My sphere is cruel and violent too." He traces the curve of Lucifer's jaw. "But I am human, Lucifer. I may be your crying ape, but I still am one."
