Good, because I didn't agree to be the King's consort. It is pretty funny to think about in terms of that. Istredd doesn't want to be a leader, he feels like he's reluctantly stumbled into a leadership-adjacent role and that is hard enough as it is.

Istredd is so tempted, he really is. Lucifer can be proud and take joy from the fact that the straight-laced even-tempered scholar is tempted to be very inappropriate in a public setting because of him. He thinks about it instead. He thinks very hard about how much he'd like to kiss Lucifer right there in front of everyone. He thinks clearly about their first night together before Lucifer ruined it, when Lucifer was on top of him, kissing him. Then he clears said mind.

I was really not getting I want to fight energy from you, no.

Thank everything that the song decides to end and Istredd takes a deep breath, dropping his hands from Lucifer because he really can't touch him right then.

I think it may be for the best if we dance with other people for a little while.

Honestly he might need to get a drink. Or two.
