[ What. ]

Is that why Lucifer hates you? Because you made him smaller?

[dendarii]

... He doesn't hate me. He's interested in me. That's far worse.

[jacksonian]

Yeah, and makes you feel far more important, I'm sure.

[dendarii]

I would happily trade whatever ego I get from this for safety in this instance.

[jacksonian]

So why don't you?

[dendarii]

There is no safety to be traded for. Only strategy.

[jacksonian]

Yeah? Are you really sure of that?

[dendarii]

Of course I am.

[jacksonian]

Okay.

[dendarii]

... Did you have any more questions?

[jacksonian]

Yeah, just one more. What will Lucifer do to me?

[dendarii]

Try to make you join him, probably. Promise you everything you want to hear.

[jacksonian]

[ Hah. Then it seems I already know the devil. ]

And what else?

[dendarii]

... I don't know. I suspect you'd end up tangled in my mess, though. One way or another.

[jacksonian]

Like I'm not already?

[dendarii]

I'm trying not to entangle you further.

[jacksonian]

I wish I didn't have your face.

[ broken ugly laughter to self ]

[dendarii]

It's a poor lot in life. I'm sorry you do too.

[jacksonian]

[ He tries to think something ominous like not as sorry as you will be but even mentally and internally he's too tired for that. ]

Great. Well, thanks for the warning.
