Oh, trust me, I told him all about your deathwish. [That's not really... quite how it happened, but it may as well be.] He clearly did not "understand." I was able to be derail him by asking if he took care of Wilhelm, because obviously he did.
I don't have a deathwish. I am very glad to be alive.
[ Semantics. Istredd didn't think that Kell would hold onto guilt about that since it had been his request, and concern floods through him. He'll have to check in with the boy, make certain he understands it wasn't in any way his fault. ]
I'll talk to him. I can understand that leaving someone to die isn't easy no matter the reason.
[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.]

It didn't stick from me. I have this funny suspicion he'll react negatively to it from you.

(It's really not Istredd's fault, even as the primary source for an outlet now. Nocwich and Lucifer rarely go well.)]

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.

[ He means it a little jokingly, as if he could disallow Lucifer anything. ]

[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.]
You're an expert on surviving extensive mental trauma, any recommendations?
