Abduxel, I don't need to know you to see what's inside of you. It was a gift of mine back home -- my main gift, to find those who had gifts of their own and awaken them to live their lives to their fullest potential. You react with such suspicion and doubt, and I wonder is it because you fear my intentions or is it that you fear I may be right?
[ The part about Crane is entertaining, and hell, when Raina goes through the gassing, she will be all for that flaying of Crane. But right now, Crane is on the backburner in favor of observing the demon -- watching his behaviors. He reminds her of a feline, swishing its tail in irritation, not quite sure whether to surrender to the strokings or scratch the hand giving them. ]
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.
Goodness no. A higher position under him is still a position as nothing more than a servant. I like to consider myself a contractor.
[ She studies her nails and then eyes the ring on her finger with a smile. ]
He requests something from me and it's within my right to say no. Though if the price is right and the end result is something I can approve of, I'm more than happy to offer my assistance. No deals. No bargains. I don't request anything of him. I have nothing to gain or lose. I'm no fool when it comes to playing with the devil. And trust me, I'm certainly not after your position.

What a struggle.]

...Well. If there's anything else you'd like to discuss... Otherwise, if you'd like to meet at my home we can arrange your flowers when you're ready.
