Accidental Bonds(ryax/lady)

Lucifer couldn't help but to snicker silently at Xizor's replies, sighing playfully within himself. Frowning lightly at Lucien's words and appearance towards him, he kept up the friendly facade towards him. Lucifer couldn't help but to feel mortally troubled by Lucien's words of playing the evil mastermind which left with; during any other circumstance a sentence like that would be interesting, intriguing and exciting even, but rolling off Lucien's tongue, it could only spell disaster.

Smirking playfully as the character would do, he let himself be led by the lady onto the dance floor. Replying with the characteristic voice once again, "Ach now don't be like that, miss. I wouldn't be having this dance if it wasn't for you being the most beautiful flower amongst the garden.", he said smoothly, really trying to smear out that bond like charm all over the place. Breaking his character a bit he continued with his normal voice and a bit of playful courtesy, "But to be honest, there is nothing I would rather want then to dance with Thorne at least once for her evening.", a sweet smile manifesting on his lips. "But that doesn't mean that I can't dance with other beautiful ladies.", he said playfully and charmingly. "But alas, I must still ask you something while I'm in this dance... I'm a bit curious as to what Lucien might have planned for the evening. I sense that I might be in for a rough one if I don't prepare myself properly. And so, I figured that maybe you had some knowledge about it that you would like to share.", he pleaded to her subtly with his charm.

Lucifer managed to catch a glance at Anakin Skywalker having a great dance with his awe striking warrior princess, he couldn't help himself but to smirk at the sight as they made an oddly well put together couple dressed and dancing as they were. He was much amused by that Wrath had chosen Anakin like that, his deep and darkest being appearing much just like that.

Later, when their dance naturally came to an end, he bowed to Lady Lust and put on the Bond charm again. "Ach it was a lovely dance, but pardon me miss, I have to end it now, before my arch nemesis exacts his revenge on me.", he said with a playfully charming smile as he left her and disappeared into the crowd once again, hoping to get to spot Thorne or Wrath for some friendly and true interactions in which he could skip the painstaking formality.
 
Phedre laughed quietly listening to lucifer, flushing a little. No wonder lucien liked her despite his years of straying, the woman was adorable and oh so innocent at times. "Ah, you are charming, mr. bond."she said looking amused before growing serious, looking around the room."You know my husband, probably better then anyone. He can't help but be power hungry. Even if he knows he shouldn't."Her eyes grew sad because she remembered a younger lucien, a man who'd struggled with the lust that had become his own, had found that the chains of office kept him as bound as anyone else. And Lucien in turn, had embraced his role whole hearted. So, Lucien was power hungry and as vicious as he was charming. Looking towards her husband she stared at him for a moment before looking at Lucifer again.

"my lord, tonight is not a test for you. It is a test for her. To see just how true the bloodline runs."She swallowed looking slightly sad, because she loved her husband, no matter how what he had done. "Lucifer, she is not just Lucien's daughter. She belongs to another Demon Lord's line."She muttered stepping back as the dance ended, studying him. Because unlike lucien, all the lords had more then one daughter, all different ages, not to mention their wives. The lords had only offered their youngest as a bride for lucifer, the elder ons had been left to their own devices. Which wasn't surprising when thought about, Lucien couldn't help himself but play with danger, even if it meant seducing all the girls that should have been out of his reach."Tonight,he's going to see just what she's capable of."

Wrath smiled as he walked with Thorne through the crowd, bowing his head a little."Master Bond, may I introduce you to the war goddess Thorne?"Wrath said snickering a little as he introduced them, acting like a jedi knight still instead of someone who knew Lucifer as well as he did. Thorne flushed a little as she looked up at Lucifer, smirking a little, though jealously flaired through dark blue eyes.

"Enjoying time with my stepmother, Lucifer?I didn't know you liked the shy timid types. I thought warrior women were your choice."She teased smiling as she moved away from Wrath as the Demon Lord moved away towards the jewelry smith.

"Lady Belial, you look beautiful tonight.May I have this dance?"He purred a little reaching for her hand, having every intention of dancing the night away wih Belial so Lucifer would have a excuse to take care of thorne for the rest of the night.
 
Lucifer couldn't help but to smirk over the top just like bond used to do in a situation just like this, before having to break character from his own slightly childish snickering at himself. He listened to her words, noticing her change in face and spirit but decided not to back out of the fire for the time being. "To see how deep her bloodline runs?", he asked with curiosity; although he knew from before that Thorne was not her daughter, he didn't want her to know that he knew, keeping her in honesty and pure colorization of the facts from her point of view. "I see.. That would explain how her personality deviates from her father by that significant bit.", he added with a lightly shocked and 'Aha!' kind of voice, as to keep the appearance he knew nothing about it. Listening to her ending information before vanishing into the crowd, he couldn't help but feel even more unsettled about everything, and was going to keep a watchful eye on the situation.

Walking through the crowd, he finally had the chance to be met with Thorne and Wrath, the jedi knight introducing the young warrior goddess to him. "Of course, Young Master Skywalker. Ach yes.. Warrior Goddess Thorne.. It was simply but a matter of time before our fates would eventually intertwine...", he said again with his impression of bond's ways. Taking Thorne's hand, he looked into her eyes the entire time as he bowed himself down as he lifted her hand, kissing it lightly just like an old time gentleman to royalties as he let it go again and stood up straight. A smirk crawled across his lips as he replied playfully, "Agent Six Six Six to your service. Bond. Luc Bond is my name. Who is this Lucifer, you must have me confused by this poor mistaken fellow."; he kept his character alive in to the last, exhausting his charming puns and wit for the time being as he broke character to respond 'properly'. "Oh warrior women are definitely my type, but that doesn't mean I can't stray my interests once in a while.", he voiced softly with clear hints of playful disregard for his warrior princess affection in order to play with her mind just a tiny bit and make her a little bit more jealous, as he could see it clearly in her eyes piercing him partly.

He couldn't see where Wrath went, not really knowing what he was going to be up to, but he really didn't care of this moment as he would spend it with Thorne, and that caused his defenses to lower and focus on her completely for the time being. Miraculously, he wasn't yet aware of the development brewing between Wrath and Belial, he had been with Thorne more then Wrath for a bit already with her being bedridden and all that, so Wrath and him couldn't talk all they usually did so far.

Taking Thorne's hand, he led them out onto the dance floor once again, not really asking her if she wanted to dance, but rather having them dance so that he could use it as an excuse to be a bit more intimate with her for the little time they had already been apart. "How are you enjoying your evening so far? Fought any other gods yet?", he asked curiously and a bit subtly childish with a smile. He liked to keep himself a bit childish at times, especially when it came to parties like this that were a bit childish and exciting from the get-go.
 
Phedre gave him a thoughtful look. "And that deviation is what makes her so very useful to him."she muttered looking amused that lucifer hadn't known. Taken him at his word that he'd just realized thorne wasn't her daughter. WAtching him go she looked thoughtful, before smiling as she walked away from him.

"Because you are a warrior yourself Mr. Bond?You look more like a accountant or a lawyer, then someone I would choose on a battlefield."Thorne teased before laughing softly."Ah, I am sorry. You remind me of a great warrior I knew once, though if I remember correctly now, he lost to a jedi knight."She said smiling a little as they dance, anger shining in those dark eyes, along with jealousy. Now that she'd admitted to liking him, it seemed she wasn't going to share well.

"I am, Knight Skywalker has been a wonderful escort, and has kept the other gods at bay. Mostly Loki and Venus over there."Thorne said snickering as she tilted her head towards Pride's daughter."And of course, my older brother, Dagda."She said snickering as she watched a slightly older man who could have past for her twin dancing with pride's daughter. She lookedamused and pleased to playing with him, and enjoying the game, even if there was still anger shining in her dark eyes.

Lucien smirked a little as he dipped his head to press a kiss to envy's forehead as he danced with the demoness, having every intention of causing trouble as he laid the light spell on the woman.Putting Lucifer in a fix was going to amuse him. Chuckling to himself as he made his way back to his seat he settled into the chair-more throne actually- to watch. Half wondering if Wrath had gotten a real lightsaber, if his weapons skills were that good, if so, things were about to go epically amazing as it forced both his daughter and Wrath to lose control. Smirking to himself he watched, thinking to himself."Let the games begin."

Thorne frowned at the woman who approached as the song ended but stepped back as the older demoness stepped closer,"My lord lucifer. you look well tonight.Dashing, really."Envy purred as she slid a hand over his shoulders, drawing him towards her for a dance."A dance, my lord?"She smiled, a smile that said she wasn't used to being said no to. And despite his feelings for thorne, Envy was a demon lord-well lady- he couldn't really afford to offend one of the original seven angels who'd fallen with him. Which is what Lucien had counted on.
 
"Don't judge the package by its cover alone.", he replied smartly before he got yet another smart reply from his Warrior Goddess. He could sense the jealous hostility radiating from her, and decided to lay low on the smart-ass cheating jokes for the time being. Although he would have hoped that a strong psyche and woman as Thorne is, would know and feel that he wouldn't do something bad towards her, but if one faced the facts, she had a father like Lucien and the fiery bloodline of Lust in her veins and that could likely be grounds for the jealousy on its own.

"I'm glad to hear this.", he replied simply at her pleasant escort reveal, smiling warmly in character. He couldn't see the people who she referred to, but he heard of Loki and thought of Lucien that would likely be all over his daughter for the day to keep her happy on her own birthday and all. However, he had let his guard down a bit while close to Thorne, enjoying her company, enough to let Lucien's mischievous plans take root, grow and fester to become a large problem for him.

He was a bit sad that the song had ended, hoping to catch another together with Thorne, but to his surprise she backed away. He was about to ask if something was wrong, when he heard Lady Envy's voice and turned to look at her presence. She was as beautiful as she had ever been, being one of the seven original fallen she would always be one of the most desirable women hell had to offer by taking in consideration her power, her bloodline and her gorgeous body. But alas, her bloodline made her a volatile being, one that if you couldn't commit a hundred percent in being the best for her, you would know, mostly in a bad fashion.

"Why thank you, Lady Envy, I'm not alone in looking amazing this evening I see.", he said in a friendly manner, complementing her for her beautiful appearance for the night, much like always. Not being used to being ina relationship and for the spur of the moment, he didn't think before replying and therefor had made a potentially further jealous inflaming, yet friendly and harmless comment. "Oh, yes, I suppose I can spare a dance with you.", he said with a played formality and warmness, equipped with a warm smile to further push the complimentary state. He would usually like to dance with her, but at this moment it was a bad idea. But he couldn't simply deny a dance with one of the seven fallen angels, especially not with the volatile bloodline of Envy, it could spell disaster for many upon many if he didn't comply for the moment. Lucifer immediately sensed that he was in a pickle right off the bat with this as Thorne's childish jealously would likely inflame at this, the way that Lady Envy had touched him and forced him into a dance with her. He hoped that Thorne would snap out of it, but he knew there was next to a infinitely small chance of that happening and she would likely react badly to this.

If one such as Wrath would look closely on Lucifer, he would be able to see discomfort in his posture, eyes, handling, radiating from the core, but right now he couldn't be helped out of this predicament but had to find a way out of it himself. He had even yet to remember and connect the dots to why she would come after him like this, not having seen Lucien and Envy together on the dance floor, he had only the ominous premonition from Lucien to go with, and he could feel it creeping in the air right now. Giving himself some time to think on how to proceed, he decided to have a friendly chat with Lady Envy as he danced with her. "So, what brings me the honor of getting to dance with the lovely Lady Envy for tonight? We don't usually make this type of acquaintance after all.", he asked her curiously with a warm, formal and curious smile.
 
"hm, but its such a lovely cover."Thorne said looking amused as she danced with him, looking amused. Though she was strong and so very sure of herself most of the time, Thorne was still her father's child, and had watched Lucien flint this way and that no matter his attraction to someone. So was it really any surprise that when it came to relationships that extended past just a one night stand, she would be jealous of any woman approaching? She cared about Lucifer, and as strong as she was, that left her vulnerable to it. Even if she logically knew that he would be loyal, her heart was still at war with itself at the idea of him flirting with someone else.

Envy smiled at the man's words,"I always look amazing, but somedays more then others."She smiled tilting her head a little as she slipped a hand into his, "Thank you my lord."She said looking amused as the man accepted a dance with her. "Well, you are soon to be married my lord. I thought I better get a dance before all your time is taken up with her."The fallen angel smirked a little looking amused as they danced, smirking wider as she watched the crowd watch them. She loved being the center of attention, knowing that everyone envied her. And even more than that, she could tell she was being vexing towards Thorne, who due to the spell on her, was the focus of her attention, not the man holding her.

Wrath smiled slightly as he eased towards Thorne, dipping his head to talk to her. "You know he wouldn't be dancing with her, if he didn't have to.Calm, lady thorne."Wrath muttered softly, calmly as he pulled her into a dance. He could tell she was bothered, but he knew the best way to calm anger. After he was the lord of anger, he could coax it down as quickly as he could bring anger to the front.Feeling the slight trembling in her body he frowned as he studied her, before turning his head to look at lucifer.Something was wrong, more then just her jealousy. He knew the woman in his arms, she wasn't quick to anger, but she seemed to be onto the edge of losing complete control.

Lucien bared his teeth a little as he watched the scene, annoyed that Wrath had stepped in. No!No that wouldn't do. He wanted to watch his daughter totally lose control. Because if she did, maybe Lucifer would leave her alone and he could go back to scheming against the man. He wasn't concerned for the moment about the emotional trauma he was about to inflict on a woman who much preferred not being the center of attention.

"No!Tell her to get away from him. She has no right!He's mine. He told me so."Thorne snarled her features twisted into anger, for the moment in control even if she was quickly being driven into a rage, young enough she didn't recognize her father's tampering with her emotions, making a usually calm and rational woman insane with the jealousy she'd been feeling. He wasn't so much creating the emotion within her, just making it worse."I will tell him so!"She growled already pulling away from the demon lord dancing with her and heading for lucifer and envy.
 
Smirking so playfully at Thorne's words, Lucifer kept their dance at bay, formal, neat, nice. However, if one would give it a closer look or feel, his dancing was leaking a fiery passion for the woman in his hands. He didn't want to be restrained by the prying eyes of the crowd and his royal title. He wanted to dance to his hearts content together with his Thorne and have more then just a great time with it, his carnal desires wanted to get closer to her, to make her have a great time. Unfortunately, the calamity that would be certain to arise was not desirable by the very least and had to be avoided, and thus he had to restrain himself as he did.

"Clearly.", he stated with a mask of playfulness towards Lady Envy. Lucifer laughed courteously at her notice of a 'last dance' before him being tied up in the claws of his soon-to-be bride. "A wise choice, but alas, I am the ruler here, I'm certain I would be able to break a moment free for a dance. You know I always have time for you.", he replied, one again courteously. Lucifer knew that all eyes were on them in one way or the other, he had become used to this over the centuries and it bothered him little, he had managed far, far worse situations. However, he felt that Thorne had flared in jealousy over a simple dance with another woman, what would she think in this situation? He couldn't help but to loose a bit of his normal secured concentration over the current 'Thorne' in his side.

As they had danced for a bit, he could almost feel the moment when Thorne snapped, heading towards them. Although he had no idea what was about to happen, it was like a shallow premonition came to him that he barely missed, thus leaving a feeling of that something could happen at any moment. And there it was, something was already about to happen. Lucifer noticed a sour looking Thorne heading his way, he paused the dance with Lady Envy timely and excused himself to see if he couldn't solve the issue somehow calmly. "Greetings, Lady Thorne. What brings you to us?", he asked calmly and politely. He was used to dealing with angry people before, even angry sexual encounters, but he was not used to the fickle Thorne as of yet, another side in her manifesting and confronting him directly. He had no idea that she was under the influence of Lucien's foul magics, but somewhere deep inside of him he was passively trying to decipher Lucien's ominous words from the start of the evening, and eventually it would possible lead him to decipher the dire situation growing ever so malevolently at hand.

"Usually, but I think your bride will be a jealous wife."Envy said smirking a little as she considered the man in front of her, as he glanced towards were she knew Thorne was. Of course, it was bad enough one demon lord would conspire against lucifer. Two, even worse. Espicially if one was a beautiful woman, who had known just how persuasive lucien could be. Stepping back as she looked at Thorne, she gave that wide eyed innocent look before smiling a little.

Thorne paused, for a moment out of sorts at his polite question. It was so unlike herself that her father had driven her to, that being confronted with a calm person was screwing up Lucien's magic. "I was going to ask for a dance."Thorne said, a thread of anger in her voice as she swallowed, turning her head slightly to watch Wrath come towards them. "It's my birthday my lord, we should have another dance."She said struggling to think around Lucien's magic. To much of her mother's daughter, even if it was that side of her magic Lucien was trying to bring to the surface, the side effect of having the potentional to be that violent, was tha she could control it to.

"Ah, but lady thorne...I was enjoying him."Envy smirked, leaning against lucifer a little, knowing that lucien would need to goad her, smirking wider as anger filled those eyes like storm clouds, barely registering the moment Thorne went for her sword until Wrath's lightsaber stopped the blade as she swung. And then it was on. A full out fight between the devil's assassin and a girl who should have not been able to keep up with him. Much less actually starting to push Wrath to his limits.

Lucien laughed to himself as he reclined in his chair, amused as the crowd shifted around to give the two fighting room to move, not about to stop a show now that he'd goaded her into attacking, he wanted to see just how far it would go. And well...turning them on each other amused him, to see wrath starting to find out that maybe he wasn't the best anymore.

"Luc, any time now."Wrath snarled as he nearly fell, sparing a look at his friend, hating to admit he needed help corralling the out of control woman, but he didn't want to hurt her, something wasn't right, and he didn't want to hurt her to make her stop.Not when he was sure this wasn't totally her
 
"Still nothing I wouldn't be able to deal with.", he replied with a playful yet formal charming tone of voice and expression. He still hadn't figured out Envy's intentions or able to sense the foul manipulative magics at hand. "Already so soon, but we just had a dance, no?", he replied to Thorne calmly, but before he continued, he couldn't help like he was being ignored. Envy had already begun replying, which Thorne seemed to catch, letting Lucifer's words slip past her like a cloud.

He quickly became.... what you would call a bit uncomfortable as Envy leaned against him, the following stormy look in Thorne's eyes said it all. He could notice something was off, how she was almost struggling with something within herself. It was vague however, and he couldn't really know if it was actually something unnatural or latent within her. Much to his surprise, even he was caught by surprise as Thorne drew her sword so quickly and violently against both Envy and himself. He was clearly caught off guard by the sudden and unexpected moves from her, but he was saved by Wrath's skillful swordsmanship and precaution. If anyone not involved int he drama would have been watching, it would possibly have been quite the sight to see a Jedi knight fence off with a Warrior Goddess, who would win? Though in the midst of the drama, Lucifer was surprised, much surprised as it looked like Wrath, the best of the swordsmen in hell as far as anyone knew, was struggling with the fight against the petite Lady Thorne. What the hell was going on here...

The murmur and voices of the fight was too loud for Lucifer to hear Lucien's cackle by his seating at the dinner table. Lucifer was simply baffled at the turn of events unfolding in front of him, what was going on with Thorne and this display of fierce swordsmanship? Snapping out of his chain of thoughts by Wrath's words, he sighed simply, turning his thoughts towards constructing a battle plan. He wouldn't admit it, but he was a bit scared, as there were few who could fight on even terms with Wrath when it came to swordplay, how would he aid him with someone possibly stronger? Since it was Thorne, and that right now, she was fighting Wrath, and winning slowly, he figured that she might be under some form of enslavement. Why would she else fight Wrath? Why would she else raise her sword against himself? Could he play on her feelings to help her regain control over herself? As much as he didn't want to get in between the two fighters, he had to do something to help his friend and to calm the situation, and since he was at the moment in quite the disadvantage, he decided to try more of a risky move.

Quickly moving himself around the crows, politely lending himself to one of the shields of the guests, moving to next to Wrath. "I'm taking over for a moment, I'm going to try something. If it doesn't work, knock her out or something, she can't be allowed to go berserk in the crowd like this.", he said steadily, watching Thorne and looking for a moment to slide in, trusting Wrath to let him do it. Quickly he saw his way in, slipping in between the two fighters and momentarily blocking Thorne's sword with his shield, gaining himself a brief moment to unfold his wings in a haste to all their might in an attempt to confuse her senses of suddenly becoming smaller and possibly more vulnerable in the fight, forcing her senses to adapt. He quickly moved in close to her so that she couldn't continue to swing at him, trying to hold the shield against her arm so that she would have a harder time to move with it as he wrapped his black wings around them both, cutting them off from the eyes of the crowd in hopes it would so something. "Look around, it's just you and me now, are you going to attack me again? If so, tell me why.", he spoke in a calm, steady yet demanding voice, hoping to play on her emotions for him to phase her in the right direction.
 
“You get killed, I’m going to be pissed.”Wrath growled even as he shifted his stance to force thorne’s throw wide to give Lucifer a chance to step in before stepping back even though he was staying on guard. He knew there was something wrong, he just couldn’t figure out what it was. Thorne stumbled a little, off balance by wrath’s move, wincing as her whole arm vibrated with the force of the swing that stopped at lucifer’s shield.

Looking startled she looked disoriented at the sight of wings, her senses trying to keep up with the changes that she was seeing, even with Lucien driving her, the woman was to much of a withdrawn woman, not liking crowds, or making scenes, so going berserk in a crowd, and faced with someone she didn’t want to hurt, it was shattering lucien’s so carefully made plans. It looked like the demon lord was just going to have to live with his plans being ruined.

“..I…I don’t know…”She said her eyes filling with tears, the anger spent, looking so confused even as she started as wrath’s hand closed around her wrists, easily disarming her before looking at Lucifer. “We need to get her out of here.”He said his eyes frosting over with anger, so very close to losing his own precious self control that he was teetering on the edge of lashing out at Lucien, who he was pretty sure was behind this, glaring at the man as he pushed his way through the crowd.

“Thorne?”Lucien said his voice that of a concerned parent. Even if he had played her,and played her as well as a master musican on a harp, it didn’t mean he wanted her hurt, and even as he moved through the crowd, saw how upset she was, his heart twisted, because he was aware of just how much mental damage he’d done to his daughter, and hated himself a little for it.

“Luc…”Thorne muttered yelping as both xizor and winter landed on her shoulders, both small dragons looking annoyed.”Why is your grandsire fighting you?I will flame him if you wish.Xizor said turning his head back and forth between wrath and thorne, the small dragon bristling at the man, the dragons so very protective of the woman that Lucifer had claimed as his. Even if xizor technically belonged to Lucifer, It just made him even more willing to protect thorne. “What?”Thorne stared at the small dragon perched on her shoulder, trying to figure out if she’d just heard right and that the dragon had named wrath her grandfather.
 
"You won't get rid of me that easy. But.. you know, just as a backup plan.", he said, a hint of worry carried with the words as he went into the fray. All in all, it seemed like Lucifer's plan of shaking the senses of Thorne to throw her off her own runaway train had succeeded so far, much to his satisfaction. He couldn't help but to part with a relieved smile as Thorne started crying, her eyes and words confused by her actions. He nodded to Wrath as he helped the man bring Thorne away from the crowd as swiftly as possible.

As they passed Lucien, Lucifer heard his pitiful voice calling out for worry of Thorne's safety, a sigh leaving Lucifer's throat as he turned to the man, anger and annoyance swimming in his eyes. He let Wrath take Thorne further away from the commotion and agitators, knowing that she was in safe and capable hands right now. Grabbing Lucien roughly by the wrist, he forcefully brought the man away from the crowd so that he may talk to him alone. While at a desirable distance, yet not far enough for the type of their conversation, he wanted to keep the conversation pretty much one sided and short as he began. "For so many, many years, you've been using that ill witted mind to scheme and plot against me at every possible turn. Every year I've been kindly putting up with it and playing along. In the light of the circumstances, I can now share with you that I am growing TIRED, of your GAMES!", he voiced sharply with much anger in his voice. "Do you actually realize what you're putting Thorne through!? Your own flesh and blood! Never before have you been this rash, even this stupid to risk and expend your own family like this.", Lucifer snarled at Lucien, "If you don't end your games right now. You might very well be the star of a spectacular 'accident', my dear brother.", he ended sharply and with a somewhat clear threat from Lucifer himself. Of course, normally Lucifer wouldn't snap like this, but the circumstances called for his calm and composed judgement to boil over and take a break for the time being, possibly setting a very dangerous ball in motion that he could not yet foresee.

Returning back to Thorne and Wrath, he had put on a relived smile to see that she was coming to be herself again. He couldn't help but to react to Xizor's word as well, 'Thorne's grandfather?', he thought to himself, browsing through his acquired knowledge of the situation and connecting the dots. He wouldn't doubt Xizor with matters such as these anymore, as the obvious dragon had secrets and powers within that let him know these things. Well it was possible, in a way, maybe? It was still not enough to paint a clear picture, how it came to be presented, but Lucifer only grew more interested in the matter, as he was sure Wrath did as well, now that the plot thickened much deeper with this new piece of information. You and I need to have a talk about this.... Grandsire thing., he communicated simply with Xizor, wanting to tap him of all his information regarding the matter, as he could feel, sense and know things others couldn't easily. Is Lucifer about to uncover a mystery behind a possible bloodline connection between Wrath and Thorne, or will it be further diluted? Maybe he will even be left hanging more loosely then before. Who knows, but all he knew now was that the bonds with them and the dragons might be the key to uncover the latent knowledge and relations laying hidden in dormant states.

"How are you feeling?", Lucifer asked Thorne softly, wanting to know her current state of mind if she had been released from the mental malevolence yet or not.
 
Thorne stared looking confused as she let the two lead her away, even if she struggled a little, not quite back to herself yet, but not fighting as well as she would have been if she had been truly controlled. Looking startled as Lucifer moved away,”Papa!”Thorne started struggling against wrath when she saw Lucifer shoving him, but wrath had to good a hold on the girl as he moved into oen of the smaller guest rooms next to the ballroom.

Lucien bared his teeth in a snarl as he jerked his hand away, and shoved at the other man.”Don’t touch me.”he snarled, hatred in the words, though it wasn’t so much hatred for the man in front of him, or even for the knowledge that thonre was in love with him, it was self hatred because of what he’d done. Hatred because he knew Nyx would kill him if she’d been alive to see the mess he’d caused tonight. “Yes I do,actually. But tonight wasn’t my fault.Its yours.”He said looking annoyed with the other man, but not being nearly as nasty as he normally would be if Lucifer had threatened him.Even as he pulled away from the other man, there was guilt and pain in his face as he walked away.

Xizor nodded as he raised up off thorne’s shoulder and landed on the lord of hell’s.My sire was her dragon, a gift from the lust lord. That’s how we ended up with you and Thonre.Xizor provided being helpful even if it was making thorne look even more confused. Wrath frowned looking interested but more worried about thorne. Gently picking her up as he absently pressed a kiss to her forehead as she rested her head on his chest, looking worried because he knew it was her first real fight, so it wasn’t any wonder she was exhausted, both mentally and physically. “We’re not leaving her here are we?”He said looking annoyed because he didn’t trust Thorne to lucien’s care, not until he figured out exactly what the man was doing. For once of lucien’s schemes, this was sloppy, like he wasn’t really trying. Which meant something, but he had no idea what.


Thorne smiled a little, rested her head on wrath's shoulder as she looked at her almost lover, "I'm...confused.I don't know what happened...."
 
"My fault? MY fault!?", he snarled back confused and angry at Lucien, growing tiered and increasingly annoyed with his current stupidity and annoying presence and confusing behavior. Lucifer was angry with Lucien, very angry. He helped himself to take a calming breath, albeit a shaky one. Retreating his wings once more, he managed to calm himself down a little before he simply turned around to leave him. "Grow up.", he voiced, leaving the words hanging in the air for Lucien to soak them in.

Listening to Xizor, the mystery pertaining to Thorne thickened, but it felt like it would soon come to a timely end if he could just connect the dots somehow. "No. Absolutely not. She has no further business here at the moment.", he replied sternly. Lucifer was rallied up with anger, stowing his rationing in a box for the moment. Normally he would have thought about the repercussions of 'stealing' Thorne like this from Lucien, but at this moment he couldn't care less about the vermin named Lucien that he had to constantly deal with.

"Don't worry, we'll get you out of here and have you relax for a while so that you can recover. We can talk about it then.", Lucifer said softly to Thorne, sporting a relived smile that she was in fact alright and quickly becoming better. Clearing the way for Wrath as he carried Thorne away from the crowd and out of the house, heading back towards Lucifer's own mansion. Lucifer was walking with heavy steps, grumbling silently to himself over the annoyance that is Lucien. "Wrath, what the fuck am I supposed to do about Lucien? He's crossing the line and I'm afraid that it's only going to escalate. It's almost like he doesn't know what he's doing himself, just haphazardly using his loved ones as pawns against me.", he voiced his mind to Wrath, hoping to hear a voice of reason coming from him so that he wouldn't go crazy.
 
Wrath was quiet as he carried Thorne he was thinking to, glancing down at the girl in his arms, looking vaguely amused that the woman who had fallen asleep. It seemed she trusted them enough to pass out in a magical exhausted sleep. Walking silently the devil’s assassin looked to thoughtful, to serious for a man who was still dressed as Anakin skywalker. “Lucien was always a power hungry little beast. And to get power, he has to knock you off the throne, but he cant because of her.”He said following the thought, because he wasn’t sure where he was going with it, but he’d watched lucien’s face, Lucien looked just as confused and upset as he ever did about anything.

“His daughter loves you. And he loves her. I don’t get it, she’s his youngest,not his heir, not the most powerful of the three children he has, but he absolutely dotes on her, more then the other two, I don’t think he kept her in isolation just because he enjoyed the thought of offering a virgin demon up as a bride. He didn’t want to share.”he bit his lip a little studying the mostly sleeping woman.”He’s getting sloppy because he doesn’t want to hurt her. If you force him to fight you,yes, he’ll be deadly,but because he dotes on her, he can’t stand the thought of hurting you. It’s making him insane I think.”He sighed softly.”His daughter matters to him more then whatever he could gain, its making him haphazard.”He muttered absently stroking the dragon’s head as xizor nuzzled his hand as he sat down on the edge of the bed,looking at the small dragon. It was a interesting thought, and if he could stand to use people like Lucien did, he would use thorne’s hold on Lucien to their own ends, but he couldn’t stand the idea of just using her as a pawn, something hurtin his chest at the thought of doing it,even if it meant Lucifer and thorne would be safer from the lust lord's plotting
 
"Ha. I think you might be right. It sure seems like he's going insane alright.", Lucifer replied lightly, his mood lightening ever so slightly at Wrath's words, helping him focus and concentrate instead of having his thoughts in a major disarray regarding the matter. As they entered the manor again, he sighed lightly at the continuation, "Yea, I don't know. I'm sure you're right, but it's still strange what he's doing and I can't help but to feel like there's going to be a second act to this.", he replied steadily in his belief. AS they arrived to Lucifer's room, Wrath put Thorne gently on his bed, Xizor sitting next to them. Himself sitting down next to them on the other side of the bed, sighing lightly, "You know, it's really going out of hand. I might just have to fight him soon to stop this chaotic nonsense.", he said with a tired voice. "Glad I'm bond then, with a license to kill.", he added with a playful smirk, albeit a tired and semi disgruntled one.

'Arrgghhh', he grumbled as he looked to Wrath, "You know... this ordeal has really made me want to just... beat something up.". "I just want to take my anger out on something you know, and no, I can't go and beat up Lucien, not yet at least.", he smiled deviously at the thought. With a sudden look of wonder at his friend, "Oh yea... Did my eyes betray me or were you courting Belial a bit back there?", he asked slyly and smirked at his friend, wondering what kind of answer he would procure being faced with a question like that.
 
“He’s driving himself up the walls most likely.”He smirked looking amused before sighing.”Let it go for now. Unless it gets dangerous, and he instigates open rebellion, it it go. It’ll just upset Thorne if you end up hurting him, no matter how much she says it doesn’t matter to her.”He said rolling his eyes a little looking upset before laughing softly.”I know. Me to. Too bad we can’t beat up Lucien, he deserves it.”He pointed out. Flushing at Lucifer’s question he glanced around the room, looking uncomfortable. “I was talking to her about what kind of sword she wanted, not courting her.”He muttered pretty much squirming in place. Oh yea, he’d definitely been courting her, not that he’d ever admit to it. IT was just to weird to him to be dating someone again after his wife died….he felt he was betraying her or something, so it was making him uncomfortable.

“Luc?”Thorne said sleepily as she leaned against the doorframe, smiling slightly though there was worry in her eyes. Looking anxious because she didn’t know what had happened tonight, and it scared her badly to be alone. Because she was missing parts of her memory, her father’s spell wiping parts of it out of what she’d done, so it made her a little anxious about whatever happened.

Wrath smirked looking relieved at the interruption on the discussion of his love life, “Its okay thorne. Come on in.”she smiled looking up at the woman, worry showing in her eyes to for her.
 
"Yea you're right, as always.", he groaned out as he leaned back, staring up onto the ceiling, "Stupid voice of reason...", he mumbled quietly with a playful smirk, knowing that Wrath heard him anyway. Lucifer carefully laid eyes on Wrath's uncomfortable squirming, not being able to help himself he smirked some more at the joyful sight. "So?", he asked plainly while staring playfully at Wrath, "What kind of sword does she want?", he added but without giving him time to react he continued in a most predictable manner, "I'm guessing she wants a long one, you know for the reach. I imagine that she would also want a real thick and hard one, you know, one that fits like a tight glove, checking all the boxes of her liking and really impacts the insides of whoever it slides into.". He couldn't really help himself, it was just too good of an opportunity to let it pass unscathed. Besides, with Lucifer doing such lewd ''misinterpretation'' of Wrath's excuse, he would revel in the enjoyment of seeing him squirm some more over the fact that he really was courting the hell out of Belial.

Turning his head in surprise, looking at Thorne, he couldn't help but to smile sweetly at her sleepy look, it definitely suited her well, albeit it would be more suited if she would be waking up in his own bed instead of a separate one. Shaking his disrupting thoughts away for the moment, he had resorted to playful thinking for the moment in order to suppress his anger towards Lucien. "Why if it isn't the star of the evening..", he said softly before Wrath invited her in. "Come, sit with us. By the look upon your face, we have some things to talk about.", he said calmly and in a most soothing manner. The anxious look upon her face told him that she was worried about tonight's spectacle, but he didn't know if she could remember anything of it at all. "Do you remember anything tonight?", he asked her softly, looking at her with a sweet and innocently curious look. Maybe it was too much with a look like that, but he had always wanted to use it with someone else then Wrath.

"You really surprised us tonight. I had no idea that you housed such impressive talent for swordplay.", he said, his mind wandering into childish territory once again but keeping that part of himself shackled at bay where it would stay put unless something completely outrageous were to be shared. He didn't know if she could remember that part, so he decided to spill it out to probe what she could remember and to fill the gaps of her mind in. Lucifer was quite interested in eventually finding out where that impressive power she had dormant, latent within even, came from. It would also serve as a great reminder to himself never to make her jealous again, or he would likely have his ass handed to him. She had been quite the scary conflict maker in tonight's event, but he was fairly certain that she didn't have control over it, so he wasn't going to hang it over her head.
 
“Someone has to be the reasonable one in our relationship.”Wrath pointed out looking amused before squirming a little at Lucifer’s question even as a blush stained his face. Poor poor wrath,having to listen to poorly put together penis metaphors. Watching the man he raised a eyebrow.”If your that curious about her sword, I can beat you with it first to see how well it does.”He said his eyebrow twitching a little, the very fact that the teasing was angering him meant that Belial meant more to him then he was willing to admit. It would be the first relationship,hell sex at that matter, he’d had since his wife had been killed so it was making him nervous and defensive.

Thorne smiled back at Lucifer as he invited her in, crossing the room. Pausing for a moment in front of a empty chair before climbing in lucifer’s lap, wanting the comfort, and wanting held. She remembered enough to know that she’d made a spectacle of herself, and the woman who’d spent a lifetime in isolation was feeling weird about it. “I remember pieces…pieces are missing….”She shrugged. “I remember fighting but…”She shrugged helplessly.

Flushing at his words she looked down swallowing hard.”Father made sure I could fight.Whether it was with swords, or fists.”She muttered remembering the time they’d gone to the human world and gotten in a fight. Shifting she pressed her cheek against lucifer’s shoulder, relaxing. “My father’s always liked warrior women, he wanted to make sure I wouldn’t get hurt. But I never was as good at it as I was today….I was angry…so angry…I just knew where to move, how to force wrath to fight better..”She muttered embarrassed because she really shouldn’t have been that angry, and wouldn’t have been without Lucien goading her.

Wrath started a little at the words, frowning slightly. Before realizing she was right, and he was a idiot. Lucien had always had a weakness for strong woman, and he knew why Xizor had said grandsire now, but he had no idea how to tell Lucifer without telling thorne, because he knew she didn’t know, and he didn’t want to hurt her. Raising his eyebrows at Lucifer he sighed quietly, “Luc, most of my talent for weapons is natural, I didn’t have to train. Neither did Nyx. Or anger just made us better fighters, because we could channel that rage into being wickedly good at weapons.”He said raising his eyebrows a little, wondering if Lucifer would figure out what he just had from the few hints. Warrior women and his talent for weapons. Poor thorne, not only she had to deal with lust as a primary gift, but it seemed Nyx had gifted her with a talent for weapons. If only he could figure out how Nyx had hidden a pregnancy and Lucien had managed to hide what he assumed was her death from him.
 
Lucifer winced a little, clearly not wanting to be beaten with Belial's private sword. "Nooo thank you!", he said simply, drawing his teasing back so that he wouldn't get jumped and beat. He wanted to ask Wrath more and probe him about the subject, but was cut off by Thorne's delightful reappearance. Watching her as she strode across the room, he saw her hesitation about seating, but was most glad that she chose to use him instead of a cold chair. Wrapping his arms softly around her to bring her close and snuggly to him, it had gone almost a day since he held her like this, and it was a ocean of time too long.

Letting her shift her position on him, he smiled warmly at the close scene. "You were really, really angry.", he said simply, teasing her a little. He made a mental note of asking her to spar with him sometime, it would be interesting to see how it would turn out. "However, as scary as you can be when you're angry, I'm relieved that you had good training and can take such well care of yourself. I'll see to it that I don't make you that angry again, you would eat me alive.", he said softly and playfully, giving her a soft kiss on her forehead.

Raising his head, looking back to Wrath, he could see the small details of his expression and could tell that something was aloof, raising an eyebrow questionably to his friend before listening to his thoughts. He had a hard time understanding any of the hints that Wrath was giving him, having to give himself a moment, but eventually getting caught up to speed as he figured it had something to do with Thorne due to his mention of Nyx, which Lucifer was fearing and connecting that Thorne could be Nyx with the information that he had gotten. But a piece of the puzzle didn't fit right, Thorne had the powers of Lust, which the daughter of Wrath could not possibly have, instead she had the powers of Lust, and the powers of Wrath? He had to give it some pausing time for his answer, processing his chain of thoughts, and suddenly the curtain was unveiled in front of his eyes as the web of thoughts uncovered neatly. Lucifer blinked his eyes at Wrath, a wondering, little bit confused stare as he mimicked silently with his lips the words 'No way'. He couldn't really believe his own thoughts, could Nyx have had a pregnancy with Lucien and had Thorne?

Lucifer felt that he really needed to talk to Wrath about this. "Hey, goddess of war?", he addressed Thorne with a sweet voice. "Why don't you lay down for a bit, me and Wrath are going to get us all some tea.", he said softly, laying Thorne down on his soft bed, making sure that she had a comfortable lay. Smiling at her as he got up, motioning for Wrath to join him. "We'll be right back, don't worry.", he said before leaving the room with Wrath. After entering the kitchen, Lucifer turned to Wrath with a concerned look and spoke in a low voice, "So... Do you think that... Nyx.. and Lucien? Is .. Thorne..", he voiced carefully before continuing with a curiously confused look, "Your granddaughter?", he uttered his thought pattern finally, seeking confirmation from Wrath. His thoughts were clearly on something else then making tea at the time, and he wasn't even doing anything about it as he simply just wanted to get him and Wrath alone for this talk.
 
“Good.”Wrath said smirking amused that the man was teasing him instead of staying upset over what had happened. Raising his eyebrows a little he smiled at thorne.”you really are. We’re going to have to see how good you are when your not angry.”He said already thinking about exactly what he wanted to do with her. Not so much focusing on her as a person now, but just how deadly he could make her with some time and training.

“Hmm, I wouldn’t eat you Lucifer. I do want to still sleep with you. Killing you kinda cuts into that.”She said equaly playfully though the brazenness of her words made her blush. Looking startled at his words she nodded, smiling as she settled into bed.”tea would be nice.”she muttered as she settled into the bed easily.

Wrath was quiet until they got to the kitchen before he nodded a little, as he started to make the tea.”I think so. It’s the only thing that makes sense…along with everything else.”He sighed quietly. “The dragons, Lucien’s one of the few who can train them, and Nyx had one, not two. Which meant she’d left the male with someone she saw a lot. Two, Thorne was wickedly good when she was angry, I mean good. If she hadn’t hesitated to actually hurt me, I think she could have beaten me, luc.”He sighed softly. “And most of all, 100 years ago, around the time thorne was born, me and you were neck deep in taking care of a rebellion….and for once Lucien wasn’t. Do you know how rare it is for him to not have his fingers in everything? He wanted us distracted for his own uses, but likewise was to distracted from rebellion by it not to get involved. Somehow, he ended up with nyx….I just have no idea how.”He said looking frustrated as he thought over how much of a idiot they both were for not seeing it sooner. But then, thorne had been isolated, the clue they had needed to start putting things together. So it wasn’t really a surprise they hadn’t figured it out sooner.
 
Lucifer couldn't help but to smirk at Wrath's words to Thorne, thinking that all he really wanted was some good old payback at her. He lifted one of his eyebrows slyly at Thorne's so open words to him. He squeezed her lovingly in his arms, "Then I might simply consider to never sleep with you. You might kill me afterwards, I can't risk that!", he continued playfully, kissing her forehead.

Lucifer saw Wrath beginning to make tea, but he didn't really catch onto it for a little while when he started to help him. He listened to Wrath's reasoning which was the very same as his. "I should have known that there was something off about that rebellion...", he said quietly for himself before giving off a troubled sigh. After a bit of thinking, he sighed again, this time a light one as he put on a smile, "Dude... Looking past all of the many strange in all of this... You have a granddaughter.", he said softly to Wrath. It was really awesome for Lucifer to both solve the mystery, and to actually get to meet someone of Wrath's family again after so many years, albeit sad that his family had died, it was currently overwhelmingly joyful to have another part reemerge. Lucifer hadn't yet connected the dots due to focusing on the mostly very joyful occasion, that he was currently dating Wrath's newly found granddaughter, and that she so gloriously had revealed her plans, of having Lucifer in bed, to them both. It was a sure card to make some parts of their relationship awkward, at least to a start.

As they were done with making the tea, bringing it back in a kettle together with some cups, before they arrived Lucifer felt that he had to ask Wrath a question that had been poking him for a while now, "How are you planning on telling her?", he asked him with expectant curiosity gleaming in his eyes.
 
“Well, we were so relieved at surviving the fight, and then with Nyx going missing….a lot of things probably got overlooked that year.”He muttered sighing softly, because while it was a disturbing train of thought, it wasn’t so bad. His chest tightened at the next words Lucifer said, shuddering a little before grinning, “Yes, it seems that I do.”He said something tight and painful loosening in his chest as he realized that he wasn’t alone. That he wasn’t the last of his family left. And as painful as it was to consider he hadn’t been there to watch her learn to walk, or to hear her first words, for the near immortals that demons were, it wasn’t that bad to find her now. Flushing a little as he considered what she had said he raised a eyebrow at his friend.”Dude, you want to sleep with my granddaughter…. That’s strange.Weird even.”He groused, though not really sounding put out. It would be nice to consider his brother in friendship a brother in blood, and if they ever had children….well, he would have a family again.

"I'm not going to."Glancing at the other as they walked back towards the room, he gave a tight, evil little smirk to the man, that spoke of blood spilling over stone, and screams in the dark. Oh yea, wrath was not pleased, even if he was epically pleased about having family, he was not pleased about finding out this way….or that he was now related to Lucien. “I’m going to beat her father’s head in and demand that he tell her. After all, he’s the only one left that understands exactly what happened.”

Thorne stirred as they opened the door, hjaving been napping. Despite being so very good at weapons, and having trained well, the woman had tapped into the talents granted to her by Wrath’s bloodline,and it had left her mentally and physically exhausted. Just wanting to snuggle into Lucifer and sleep. “I don’t think I want tea anymore…I really just want to sleep….”She said giving the men a sleepy smile as she sat up, drawing the blanket up. While she was wearing clothes, it wasn’t much, just a pair of short workout shorts and a spaghetti strapped t-shirt.

Wrath smiled, and like the overwhelmed man that he was, nodded.”Then sleep.”He said stepping to the edge of the bed, bending down to kiss her forehead, ignoring the odd look he got in return for his efforts.”Goodnight.”he stepped back smirking as he looked at Lucifer.”Me and you, we have plans in the morning okay?”He said, a nicely phrased demand sounding like a question. He didn’t trust himself to confront Lucien on his own, but he knew he had to. Now that he knew, he had to know for sure what had happened.

Turning to leave he smiled at Lucifer,"Goodnight. And take care of your girl...she shouldn't be alone tonight."He muttered glancing at the demon king, knowing that Lucifer would understand why he didn't want thorne alone. It wasn't so much that her emotional demands needed it, but that he was afraid she'd drained her own magical reserves to the point that her body might shut down because of it. It was a are thing for a demon to do that, but it had been the first time she'd taxed to that point, and wrath was worried that their duel had done some damage not visible at first.
 
"Yea..", he muttered agreeing. As Wrath made Lucifer realize what was going on between him and his friend's granddaughter, he couldn't help but to feel very embarrassed and awkward about it. "Tell her to stop making me fall in love with her then.", he replied playfully yet with a clear trace of nervousness in his voice.

Lucifer raised an eyebrow at his friends so deviously looking expression, he almost couldn't wait to hear his plans. Hearing the plans, he grinned, brimming with approval. "Awww yea! You finally have a legitimate reason to beat him up! I don't even know why you're still here, go, beat him silly, right now.", he exclaimed excitedly, really wanting Wrath to slap, well, beat Lucien to a bloody pulp for all his annoying pranks, plans and trickery.

As they came back into the room, Lucifer looked upon Thorne, but with a different type of eyes this time then before, not just love anymore, but also as a part of his best friend's family. He smiled warmly at the sight, the combined feelings bringing him more towards a deeper love and connection towards her. He put the tea kit down as Wrath made his exit, he didn't really feel like tea anyway, it was after all just a front for getting to talk it out with Wrath. Lucifer couldn't help but to chuckle at the funny look that Thorne was giving her granddad.

Lucifer nodded and smiled with a latent and calmly dangerous looking expression, "Of course. I wouldn't try to skip it for anything.", he replied delightedly. "Good night Wrath, neither should you.", he replied simply, not aligned with Wrath's meaning in this however, as he figured the emotional shock of finding out that he actually had a granddaughter, a legacy of his murdered family would toll him greatly.

As Wrath had exited for a while, Lucifer had spent some time staring at Thorne laying so peacefully in his bed. A delighted sigh escaped him as he went over and laid down next to his Thorne, smiling sweetly as he rearranged them, sliding his arm under her head, having her rest as close to him as possible. He wanted her closer then ever, because he never felt closer to her then he did right now. It was a weird feeling for him, a warm and fuzzy feeling, not just by love, but one of sharing Wrath's own feelings for a bit, that he was close to his dear friend's family. Lucifer didn't have a family of his own, no parents, no children, no siblings at all. With Wrath gaining a part of his family back, since they were so close, it felt like Lucifer gained a family member as well. It was truly a series of mixed feelings right now, but he would quickly get used to it. He wanted to be laying as close to Thorne as possible for the night for another reason as well, not just love and warm, fuzzy feelings. She had seemed quickly very taxed by her explosive overuse of unexplored powers from her other bloodline, and he wanted to make sure that he could feel her body if she would be to feel the after effects and weaken. He knew that the overuse of bloodline powers would tax the body if not practiced often, and the signs on Thorne tonight after using her other bloodline's powers for what he was quite sure one of the first times, was quite clear so he wanted to be cautious about it.

He quickly fell asleep, feeling the warm and soothing heartbeat from Thorne helped with that greatly. He slept lightly, subconciously alert and worried about her state of health. Lucifer dreamed of beating up Lucien again and again, only to have to track him down again to beat him up some more. It was a most pleasant dream of mental and physical abuse of his nemesis. He had really hoped that he would witness, or even take part of, something like that in the morning when Wrath would confront Lucien about this ordeal.
 
In the morning Wrath grinned as he walked into the dining room, looking amused that the two were doing the normal thing of getting up for breakfast instead of having breakfast in bed. Wondering for a moment if they were still trying to resist having sex….before he winced, trying to turn the thought off. It was bad enough he had to consider Nyx having sex, he didn’t want to think about his granddaughter having sex just yet, even more so now that it was going to happen with his best friend.”Morning.”He smiled settling into a chair next to thorne, studying her. She looked fine, if a little tired still.

“Morning.”Thorne smiled giving a small smile, before sighing quietly. “I’ve been ordered to rest today, so don’t give me that look.”She muttered whining a little at the demon lord looking at her, before laughing.”I’m fine, really.”She said not understanding that he was worrying more then he usually did. She knew Wrath to be a kind and caring man, so it didn’t seem at all odd he was worrying over his best friend’s girl.

Wrath raised his eyebrows a little looking at her before nodding, looking at Lucifer.”You ready to go?”He asked, interested in beating the living hell out of Lucien, though he was doing a good job of hiding just how blood thirsty he was feeling. He didn’t want to scare thorne, and since he wasn’t going to kill Lucien, at least not unless something went terribly wrong, he didn’t see any reason to tell Thorne what was going to happen until after they figured out what had happened so long ago.
 
Lucifer had woken up the next morning, sleeping lavishly comfortable with Thorne close at his side. They had gotten up and went for a normal breakfast. Soon after Wrath decided to show up and join them. "Morning~", he said with a cheerful smile on his lips while greeting Wrath this delicious morning. While he still hadn't had sex with Thorne yet, he had already decided to tease Wrath a bit, therefor he ate with great vigor as if he had done the dirty deed good with Thorne and had worked up a great appetite by it. 'Mhmm', he voiced playfully, "I've ordered her to regain her energy for the day, you now, so that she can spend it again later.", he said playfully while taking another bite of his fried egg, ignoring Wrath in a nonchalant manner. After eating the egg, he couldn't hold it anymore and looked to wrath with a grin and shook his head, laughing a little. "That was good, Though I'm done now.", he said as he put his eating utensils down on his plate. He tried to have Thorne being as clueless about what it was he was talking about while he still knew that Wrath would know very well what he was joking about.

As the breakfast churned to its end, Lucifer nodded and tossed his napkin on his plate, "Yup. Let's go deal with our little pest problem.", he said as he stood up, placing his index finger under Thorne's chin and leaning her head up gently as he leaned down and went for kissing her on her lips, but averted his trajectory before that and instead kissed her softly on her cheek, withdrawing himself and looking vaguely nervous about it. He couldn't bring himself to kiss her on her lips in front of Wrath for obvious reasons. "Have a good day, we'll be back before you know it.", he said softly before leaving Thorne to do what she pleased for the day, as long as she took it mostly easy and rested herself as she could.

As they leaved his mansion, Lucifer was anxious to ask Wrath how he was going to 'process' Lucien. "So.. How are you going to 'tenderize the steak'", he asked him curiously. Lucifer was going to enjoy this, sure he had seen Wrath perform his handiwork before, although quite rarely, but this time it's all about seeing Lucien in pain.
