Comments

[Jayden's about to politely brush off the first comment--compliment?--as it being nothing, but then Lucifer follows it up with the questions, and they don't exactly shock him even if they're a bit of a surprise. People wonder about this sort of thing, and Lucifer isn't the first Jayden's met who does so.

His answer is honest, rather than the canned sort of reply one might expect. It's not that the canned one doesn't apply--it definitely does, Jayden's senses of morality and empathy are both very strong--but it wouldn't be a satisfying answer, nor the whole truth.]

I don't like standin' back and watching bad things happen without at least tryin' to make them better. If I can help people, figure out some sorta' challenge, and not have to feel guilty about being a terrible person all at the same time, that's a win-win situation for me.

[It's really not a compliment. More like an annoyance. A statement that might as well be swatted like a fly, but it's always interesting to see how people react.

For as laid-back as Lucifer often appears, there's a part of him always calculating. An app running in the background.] Ah, so it's more selfish than self-serving.

[takeatrip]

That's not exactly how I'd put it.

[But, you know. Interesting that Lucifer does.]

[thedevilwhorose]

[He holds up his arms in a shrug.] Doesn't mean I'm wrong.

[takeatrip]

Doesn't mean you're right.

[It's mild, not really arguing, just not quite allowing the comment without protest.]

[thedevilwhorose]

So we're 50-50 then.

[He's not helping.

... he's also not conceding. Shocker, right?]
