The reminder of how fleeting human life is should be reason enough for Lucifer to cut his losses. Why get invested in something that's only going to give him a temporary endorphin release and then be gone in a blink?
But then, archangels should be eternal; and Lucifer knows for a fact that He Was Not. So that true fact that his own lifetime could be limited to just a pinprick even before Abraxas is... well, maybe not enough a reminder that he should do something so reckless like try to take snatches at--at happiness for himself, but...
It does fall back into the conundrum about reaching for things he wants and allowing himself the opportunity.
The concept of "happiness" is even more removed from his thoughts than "wants."
The Future Lucifer in Michael's timeline was killed for unexplained reasons.
This Lucifer...
My kind isn't as eternal as you may think, and you might very well just kill me with kindness, Istredd. I'd say by all means, tell me more anyway, but at some point we're going to be required to mingle.
