"Yeah, no," he laughs, "you misunderstand. They already were guessing about our nonexistent sex life." Not just their relationship status; if he cared about that he wouldn't have made such a show at the party.
He pats the back of his hand at Istredd's side.
"Just continue the claim of magic accident. Most will just go with it. Our friends on the other hand..." It's an unusual ease that he says 'our friends' with, and says something that he doesn't even notice. "There's likely no sympathy there."
Istredd's last comment gets a slight wince from him. His immediate reaction is that he can't promise that, because he knows himself. But... "You too, you know. It's not just a 'me' problem."
Istredd had a 'we'll' in there but it still felt like a Lucifer Problem. Lucifer had a meltdown and yes, Lucifer said he wouldn't have acknowledged a relationship months ago, but it was still months. His friendship is valuable, yada yada... MONTHS.
To really emphasize, he adds, Were you going to ask about Kyle if I hadn't said anything?
