Lack of recognition is honestly the best result he could've had here.

He blinks at the pack of dogs all looking at him, half expects an attack, and is pleased when that doesn't seem to be the case.

There's multiple excuses he has thought about for coming out here looking for him, specifically, and he hadn't quite decided on what he'd go with until he was here. Even then it's a loose start. Better that way. Figure out the path while they chat, it's worked for him before. "I needed to get some fresh air and out here seems... kind of the best option." Without leaving Thorne proper via portal. "Didn't mean to bother you."

Lucifer likes one singular dog (hellhound) and she's dead. He's much more of a cat person. Waaaaay more a cat person over dealing with people, and yet he brought this on himself.

Suck it up, Lucifer.

He nods to the dogs. "They look healthy."
