Istredd is about to say more but he's so utterly shocked by the forced movement that he's shut up. Lucifer is so rarely physical with him, outside of times that they both want it, and he moves with Lucifer without thinking, allowing himself to be slammed back as if this is a joint decision. He isn't afraid although the confusion could easily turn into anger, eyebrows furrowing, back against the wall.
There are times he doesn't entirely understand Lucifer, and normally it means he is missing something. The way he reacts to the storm and the surge of whatever is going on in his head means there is something more than him being cruel going on. Istredd graciously gives Lucifer a minute to decide if he's going to talk or not, because otherwise, they are about to really have a fight.
The truth of what Lucifer reveals is just as surprising, but it does explain, and his instant sadness is genuine. He liked Gabriel a great deal. And he's getting from their bond it didn't happen yesterday, it happened some time ago. Lucifer's been keeping this inside. It does not go by his notice that the 'Jack's gone' dark energy is similar here.
He reaches out to cup Lucifer's face in his hands, gentle. "I'm sorry he's gone, Lucifer." Did the when matter? He's unsure. "Why didn't you tell me?"
I'm blessed lol
