[ And Alastor lands on the thing that Lucifer has wanted to do, again and again. It feeds into his beliefs, the endless shadows and demons that speak whispers into his thoughts, the plague of Humanity's evils that his fellow angels had cursed him to always know.
But then his daughter had held out her hand, telling him her lofty dream, golden and bright, and asked him to believe in it. All he wants is to support her, to make the only thing he ever made that he could be proud of shine as brightly as she can. It just... doesn't stop the reality of his life. ]
Leaving would hurt her more. Being here brings my name to the hotel. [ For all that he's certain he doesn't quite live up to said name, he does as well as he can. More so, it's not really the truth.
He's scared they'll come for her. With Adam's attempt on Charlie's life, the Accord he set with Heaven is broken- the Hellborn are no longer safe.
Nothing, not even himself, will stop him from defending her. She is worth everything to him. More than anything. ]

Dark amused laughter will follow Lucifer to the door, even though Alastor feels anything but amused right now. He's furious and fearful, humiliated, and in severe pain from the hidden wound.
Only once Lucifer is gone, when he is alone, does he let himself sag to rest both hands on the table, breathing shallow and fast as his antlers grow.]
