[sathan]

Perhaps there is no reason why.

( it had happened to be ironic that the boyfriend of the woman she'd taken the life of was called adam, almost a cosmic joke at her life. but he'd been there before she'd assumed mary wardwell's life, an unknown thing until he'd returned.

and gotten her to fall for him. that-- well, it made her understand how he loved a mortal )

A coincidence.

[morningstud]

There's always a reason.

[He says, without further clarification.]

I'm simply not interested in it any longer, I suppose.

[sathan]

If you think that's wise.

( it probably is but lilith is nothing if not a little bit of a shit stirrer )

Though ignoring such a thing can't be easy.

[morningstud]

[Lucifer shakes his head.]

It's not that I'm ignoring it, I've merely accepted that it is the way it is, and I'm fine with that.

[sathan]

Just the curiosity, then.

( lilith shrugs, having some more of her drink )

It'd be unusual. If something became of it.

[morningstud]

Something like that, yes.

Besides, without her here, it's not as though there's much that come of it.

[sathan]

Perhaps not. But it hasn't stopped you thinking about it.

( even if this thing was his greatest fear rather than his greatest desire )

And time away gives you time to think.

[morningstud]

No, I suppose not.

[He sighs.]

I do worry about her, but everything I've been told makes it sound as though she'll be fine.

[sathan]

Do you believe that?

( lilith doesn't know how true it is but then again she also doesn't have anyone to worry about )

She also could be brought here. We were.

( and they were both more powerful than a single mortal )

[morningstud]

I do, actually. A man here said he woke up at some point, that no time had passed at all for him. I trust him.

[Why would one of the Sleepers lie about that? It might not make sense at all, but it keeps him from worrying.]

She could be. I'd rather she not, to be honest. Much easier to keep her safe that way.

[sathan]

( because people lie, lucifer. it's the most obvious thing to know about people )

That's what mot people would prefer.

( not that lilith had anyone that she cared about or wanted to keep safe. not anymore )

[morningstud]

Perhaps.

I'm sure there are some who would rather have their loved ones close.

[sathan]

Selfishness versus safety.

( lilith knows what she'd pick -- she'd chosen safety before. a little selfish safety. even if it hadn't worked she'd do it again )

Mortals are fools.

[morningstud]

I suppose.

[He can't disagree, it's just...]

I don't think that's a trait unique to humans.

[sathan]

It isn't.

( so many demons and witches are also fools and, absolutely generalising, males are the typical candidates )

But there is much they willingly lay oblivious to.

[morningstud]

Oh, of course. Plenty of reasons for that, many of them not good, some of them because they want to avoid the truth...

Humans are quite good at that.

[sathan]

If only that was the worst of their crimes.

( for her it was the unjust world, the misogyny that was still rampant despite the thousands of years, the inequality. it was cruel )

[morningstud]

[He snorts.]

You don't have to tell me. If that were it, Hell would be out of a job, wouldn't it?

[sathan]

Something they'd enjoy. If they weren't so foolish.

( and selfish. mortals thought more of themselves than anything else and yet they could never think of how to save themselves )

[morningstud]

Maybe.

[He frowns.]

I'm not sure where the Lilin would go in that event, they've live there for eons.

[sathan]

You went to Earth. I'm certain that some would relish the opportunity.

( after all it had been a big draw for him )

[morningstud]

Oh, I don't doubt that. When Maze came to Earth, she spent a long time reveling in everything L.A. had to offer. But that's the problem, she was one demon.

If all of them decided to come to Earth, well... their ideas of partying might not mesh with humanity. What with their agelessness and nigh indestructibility.

[sathan]

Perhaps. Though isn't that where your job comes in as their King?

( give them boundaries they had to follow if they were to remain on earth )

[morningstud]

Easier done in Hell than on the mortal plane. Though I suppose the majority of them would be reluctant to leave Los Angeles.
