Your intentions, undoubtedly. For all I know, you seek to tell the Morningstar that I'm defiant, to take a better position for yourself.
[Crane holds that fear over Abduxel's head, and everyone Lucifer picks is selfish.
But what she's said does have him tempted, even if he will only hint towards admitting it. The sweet lure of freedom, which he tasted tentatively in his first weeks here before Lucifer's arrival; it was by the grace of the Morningstar that he wasn't immediately punished for the defiant, independent way he'd dove into his freedom then. It was a test, probably, to see if a touch of freedom would get him headstrong enough to fight for more. And Raina is testing him now. On the inside, he's failing, and so he alternates between accidentally letting that show, and overcompensating.
