[He's going to lean into the hope that Istredd doesn't know the extent of Lucifer's Ambrose Incident. Re: actually getting imprisoned in the dungeons for a day.]
The benefit of teenagers is that their bodies will shake off the physical damage quicker than you'd expect.
It's the emotional damage that will take time.
[This is all laid out very methodical. Neutral, informational. Not so much a closing off of emotions as it is that alien nature of someone that knew how to break down souls.
Likely how his tone would have been when he told Istredd to weigh his pros and cons in the pit, had they access to the bond at the time.]
I'm an expert on inflicting extensive mental trauma. There's a difference.
[If Istredd is implying Lucifer's own mental trauma heeeeeeeeeee........... wouldn't really call himself a survivor, nor someone ANYONE would want to take his "methods" from.]
[ Istredd can tell by the dimmed static that Lucifer unconsciously knows that he's back so he quietly closes the door and locks it.
The cat creature does decide to come to him only to sit very flatly on his chest so any attempt from Istredd to move will only bother it. A very wise choice to get someone to sit still, whether intentional or not by the lazy beast.
He does shoot a look over at his sleeping friend that has all the softness and adoration that he usually tries to dampen where he can see, and then he too sleeps. ]

I'm not going to get any real rest until we're back in Thorne.
Which is an abysmal prospect that I willingly would rather be in Thorne.

[Ambrose would love that.]
I don't think anyone stayed in Thorne. [Thorne Summoned mobilized. They were all each other's unhealthy shadows.] Doubt anyone's gone back yet either.

[ Someone squealed. ]
The kids need longer, they were badly damaged.

[ Therapy isn't really a thing in his sphere, and definitely not in the Brotherhood.]

[ Very Lucifer-like. ]

it's not his fault he's asleep before Istredd even shows, and it's the cat's own doing that it's there on its own.
his mind does settle, like it had been bracing itself, after Istredd shows. the static dims while he sleeps.]
I missed them so much
