Hey. So... I'm gonna need you to stay away from the house in Little Eden for the next few days. Just FYI.

Actually, you know what? Just stay away from that entire street.

[... Well, that prompted more questions than it answered.]

You do realize who you're talking to, yes? You may as well just tell me to go to Little Eden and set up camp at your old habitation.

[Probably because she's in the middle of a situation and distracted.]

Which is exactly why I need you to steer clear for awhile.

Sorry, love. Not good enough. Shall I go repaint your house? A lovely blue, maybe?

[Her next response finally comes about 20 minutes later.]

No, because there's currently another person there, and it's a bit of a delicate situation. The last thing I need is for you to go there and startle her right now.

[She might as well have just waved a red flag in front of his face.]

Lovely. I'll bring by some tea and we can all get to know one another. Or maybe something harder?

It's not THAT kind of situation. I'm not even there.

Found yourself a wounded bird to take in, did you? All the more reason for me to go introduce myself. We are a we, after all. ;)

I didn't really have much of a choice. Maybe later on, but not now.

[A few minutes later and she thinks it might be dealt with. Finally.

Time to actually not be cryptic.]

I don't know the entire story, but there's a girl here who's losing control of her powers. She didn't want to hurt anyone around her, so I offered the house until she can get a hold of herself. And since I just spent the last half hour trying to calm her down, I'd really appreciate it if you just let her have her space for the next few days.

[Woman. So fragile and yet so jagged when broken. He sighed, tapping at his device as he answered.]

Trust you to take in strays. I WILL be by, Chloe. If only to put a face to whatever harm might accidentally befall you. You can't deny me that.

I'm not trying to deny you anything. But it doesn't have to be right now. And besides, there's no danger here for me at all, okay? She wouldn't even let me come anywhere near her for that exact reason.

Why not give me your little stray's number so I can call her myself. Or better yet, tell her mine and let her call me. Introductions are important, mm? And it might just keep me from being SOOOOO curious that I HAVE to go see for myself.

[That sounded very much like blackmail.]

[What is he, twelve?

With a sigh, Chloe rolls her eyes and edges up from her desk, taking her phone with her so she can go outside and call him. Seriously, he's being far more difficult about this than she thought he'd be and it'd be far more efficient if she actually got to speak with him.

Ring ring ring, Lucifer.]

[... Yes?

And he answers with his trademark silky tones, smiling all the while.]

Couldn't stand not hearing my voice? That's quite all right, love. I could do with a dose of yours.

Yeah, yeah, very cute.

Anyhow, why are you so dead-set on talking to this girl right this second, Lucifer?

Thank you. You're adorable too.

Why not? It helps that you're so keen to keep me from it.

I'm not trying to keep you from it for the sake of it. I'm asking because I don't want anyone to get hurt. You, her, or anyone else who might be nearby.

All the more reason for me to at least make her acquaintance. What if something were to happen? Something terrible? Shouldn't she know who else to call if she's looking for you, mm?

She has my contact information. And from what I could tell, she already has a few people she could get in touch with in case of further emergency.

I just really, really don't want you to accidentally scare her and she freezes you in a giant block of ice. It's why I wanted to give you a warning in case you did want to go by there.

... Freeze me into ice? Why, wouldn't that be a novel experience? Give me a bit of the cold shoulder, hmm?

[Yes, he was having fun with this.]

So shall I bring a heat pack, or would that just melt her?

[She hates your fun.]

Lucifer. Really. Stop.

What, no tea for Frosty the Snow Witch?

I will hang up on you.

[Time to play cute and dirty.]

I love you.

[Not fair.]

I love you too. But seriously, leave the tea until later, will you? For me, please?

[She can play it that way too.]
