It does have a nice ring to it though... He's joking. Mostly.

Lucifer does almost kiss him, anyway, but it would be as risky as the taste they had at the beginning of the night and would not be short and sweet. He does pat Istredd's hip before parting and darting out of reach, taking one more bow, this time simply as a mark of their finale. Didn't Istredd call him a court jester at one point? Well, here he is.

Mingle, Istredd. If I don't catch it let me know if you start to falter and I'll come rescue you, it's said flirtatious, but there is a truth to it. Lucifer has no problem rudely inserting himself into a conversation and extracting the man.

He does take on a few dance partners, though Kyle following after Istredd was. A surprise. But Lenore as well he makes sure to entertain and overall he keeps his mood light and a distant awareness of Istredd. It isn't late that he parties, doesn't need Istredd turning into a pumpkin, and they end up back in their room at a reasonable hour.

"All in all, I think that was a success. No one died." That shouldn't be his measure of success, but hey.
