He ducks his head, amusement just a flicker, but something through the melancholy devil.
He's created something here and the last thing he created was Jack and that's a slippery problem that he never knows how to reach out and grasp. Doubts he'll ever really be able to hold. So the rest of it has become even more important, though it never should have been. Lucifer is all fortress and walls by nature; he doesn't build them. Anything he builds has always been short-lasting so why bother? Even this year here in Abraxas is ultimately still a droplet of time to the sheer scope of his existence.
"Do me a favor?" he says. His thoughts have been too muddled to maintain speaking that way. "If I don't? Drown my mind in, well, yours." Contingency Plans. That's how much he wishes to hold onto things. It's close to the same as asking Michael to kill him if he ever sided with their Father (again?), but in this case he'd likely still be kicking. "And then probably run and find Wanda."
He sighs. "But. It will be blatantly obvious if it even starts to become a problem." He imagines he'd just start outright blocking Istredd, for one. "And I really do think I have... awhile."
