[He definitely never mentioned Geralt in passing, Lucifer's sure of it.]
Congrats, I'm so glad to know you're capable of restraint. [Despite very likely practically shouting from the rooftops about their relationship in a way that was almost dangerous for them both.
But.
He, obviously, doesn't say that.
He also doesn't fault Istredd for it. Lucifer is tight-lipped about it because Lucifer is tight-lipped about literally everything.
Despite what could be condescending words, they aren't carrying the tone.
He just. Sighs.] Look, I know you despise it--I do too--but we can't do anything without Thorne's blessings. In this case, without the other factions' blessings. You gotta suck it up, buttercup.
[The ample sarcasm is very much settle and/or go to sleep because we can't change the scenario but maybe in another day's time that could change. (It's the same vibe as wishing real hard about learning how to read the books in the Feywild's, but hey. Maybe one day he'll be right!!)]
[ Strange nickname but it must be common in Lucifer's world, that's the kind of thing he does, use slang and the such. Istredd is still frustrated and deeply annoyed, conflict can hover over him for quite some time to come. He doesn't get over things fast although he does eventually. It's not entirely about Nero, somewhat to do with the public fight aspect.
And it's really about overall frustrations. Their lack of answers. The kidnapping that they haven't entirely outrun. If it can give any measure of peace to go there, it'll be worth it.
He leans back from Lucifer to settle comfortably on his lap and puts out his hands for the damn cradle game that seems to make him happy.]

Thank you for letting me whine.
