Typically I don't have to beg my best friend not to kill me, we're both doing our best.
Istredd is keeping calm because one of them has to be calm! Also he can tell that Lucifer is trying and that they are playing with something very dangerous here. But this also was his idea. He has no idea what Lucifer actually is. A very powerful and old entity, obviously. He said something about being the villain in his story and that the body he is in now isn't his true form. So he vaguely knows parts of it, but he has never connected with a non-human mind. He can see that for what it is.
Lucifer, whatever you need, do it.
Istredd doesn't know what that is but he does know the glass is about to shatter and that any moment now people will start getting feedback from this room. He put up strong shields here but he can't control both things at once. Someone will notice. But he has no control over this. He has created the bond and the bridge and what is left is Lucifer cementing it and then getting rid of this storm.
His eyes widen as he sees his eyes turn red but there is no fear in his reaction only curiosity. Unsurprisingly. Istredd's tendency to go to curiosity instead of fear is a defining characteristic. He sees the wings but what he sees more closely is the slumped shoulders, the exhaustion, and he can't help it. Istredd leans forward and his hand not on Lucifer's temple touches his shoulder in support, holding firmly. Through the bond because it's new that bleeds over too, the genuine care and concern, not for himself, but for his friend.

It's alright, we're alright.
