There really should be a manual. Just some form of aid for Lucifer's benefit. For Istredd's. "And look how good us making it up has done us." Pretty piss poor.
Of course he pulls a rise out of Lucifer. Istredd thinks only Lucifer leads him along like he wants, can pull a particular way. It goes both ways, Istredd.
He allows the touch, though there's a fleeting thought to deny it, there and gone.
"Oh, no, I wasn't going to suck the power out of him, I was going to just rattle Sabine and knock her out for a little while, piss Jack off enough to make use of his power to sever my bonds of this caging vessel, and get him to agree to be my new vessel on the condition that with me he could save Sabine."
You know. Just for clarity.
But he didn't get that far. Things went south very quickly.
"She would've been fine. She just needs someone, anyone." (That someone will, unfortunately for Lucifer, be Kell.) "I played off Jack's tunnel-vision. Except, predictably, the idiot is actually more insane than I gave him credit for. Also, what was up Rita? Like, what the actual hell?" She was a goddamn dragon.
Forget Sam Winchester. Jack Townsend would've given Lucifer true freedom, the last he craved. Thorne had fallen, one cage down. The next was his vessel. There was no hope for that now.
He's not really helping matters, but he is telling the truth. So.
"Maybe," he allows. He's probably got it out of his system. "I've got nothing else I'm hiding from you." He doesn't think, anyway. It gets a little muddy when he's built of these obfuscations. They get lost like socks, because if he loses track of them, Istredd can't find a mental path to them, but it means he may've forgotten something accidentally. And what's the point of hiding anything else? Maybe if he had some assassinations lined up, but he likes the Nether--just as Istredd predicated--he's not going to kill anyone (here).
"I didn't think he was that important to you." Lucifer figured Istredd may be a bit put off by the new vessel arrangements and how they came to be. Lucifer could've been agreeable though to make some kind of timeshare deal with Jack, all workable, no big deal.
But Istredd made friends with about anyone, so Lucifer, who still only had a handful that he would call friends, didn't put a lot of weight to it. He knew Sabine was important, it's why he didn't really hurt her. But Jack?
