Lucifer smirks, amused by her caution. "So be it," he says lightly, stepping away, "I'll see you at the portal."
He does get a change of clothes along with his usual traveling cloak, if only because the stench of old blood might offer them a disadvantage to their stealth. A glance around the room tells him that Kyle and Rhy are both out, and that's fine, that's normal. He has some vague memory about where Kyle said he'd be.
He meets up with Natasha and the guard holding the only-slightly-better-looking prisoner, who blanches when he sees Lucifer. "No hard feelings, right, buddy?" Lucifer coos, a glint still in his eyes revealing that there will Definitely Be Hard Feelings if this lead goes poorly.
The trip gets them to a waypoint south of Nott. Lucifer expects the man to flee the moment they're out of Thorne and is impressed that he stays put and focused. Maybe it's the fresh air. Maybe it's simply being away from all the wards.
"This is it, I promise. Ask around, anyone will be able to confirm it. It's a popular route." The man's caution is back, but Lucifer doesn't think he's lying, only that he doesn't want his face to be seen involved with them by anyone else in case it ruins his credibility.
"Go, get out of here," Lucifer says, keeping an eye on him as he goes, but talking to Natasha, "Shall we chat up some people?" He puts weight on the words 'chat up' as though it might ease her mind that he isn't going to use more violence to extract information.

Unless he has to.
