[ Istredd is not going to argue with Kyle. If he feels that he could have handled it but didn't think to, that was a mistake he hopefully wouldn't make again. And he did make it, in the end. He can tell that Lucifer doesn't feel triumph being right, it's different when it's like this.

Oh he is going to think about looking your way at that piece of information and he does. He is still learning details about the angels by the day, and it's not as if he and Lucifer have ever needed to use that. He returns his attention to Kyle. There is his option too, but he doubts Kyle would be comfortable with it, and he already has two intense bonds. He wouldn't make the mistake of messing it up this time, but it's still too much. ]

Hopefully, there won't be a next time, but there is that option.

[ He reaches over to put his cool hand on Kyle's forehead, checking if he's still feverish. Healing saves his life, but it doesn't perfect the aftermath. ]

I know you are going to want to run out there as soon as possible, but please keep in mind that we are going to be very put out if you get yourself killed out of stubbornness.

[ As if he is one to talk! But do as he says, not as he does. ]
