You probably haven't come across many humans who can do what I can. As far as what Istredd has heard of his world, there are demons and angels and perhaps other creatures, but not mages in the sense he has. But I'll take any and all compliments about my mind, I like to think it is my best feature. A feature very few people get to experience on Lucifer's level. Intelligence is a shield of his too, logic and facts over all else.

He smiles at that grin, he finds it very charming. His favorite smiles are the genuine ones, but he likes Lucifer's mischief a great deal. He has so few of it himself, so he likes their dynamic. Only if it's the fun kind. He raises an eyebrow at that, amused.

"Sometimes I can't believe I managed to hide my feelings from you as long as I did. I'm pretty sure I was sloppy with our bond and you just didn't know the difference." Lucifer's not used to this. He must have assumed the feelings were normal for a close friendship, and it is true. The romantic aspect is only a slight shift.
