Another grimace. There is very little good about Lucifer anymore, from his intentions to his attitude. He would not exactly count his presence as bad either, however. It would mean Lucifer is not dead. The relationship between him and his brother is complicated, to say the least.

For someone like Inej, though? So small and so human?

"In your place, I wouldn't consider it good."

Michael is not especially keen to discuss his brother or their history with a stranger, even one with a taste for prayer, so he omits his own opinion on Lucifer and turns the discussion towards her second question. There is no Heaven and no host of angels in Abraxas, nor any trace of the God he knows in Solvunn. It is difficult to judge how his perception has been impacted without those familiar elements.

"It may be a touch of both. Those directed to me are the hardest to ignore, though I used to be able to hear prayers meant for our Father if I made the effort. But we were of the same faith. What deity do you worship?"

Perhaps he hears her because she devotes herself to someone familiar.
