Lucifer's been in and out of the Horizon, the revolving door with Kell and Kyle. It's meant he's had to play into the nocturnal role when honestly he'd prefer to sleep, but he's been in the hallways, the library. Take a book, return to their room, jump back into the Horizon, leave, bring the book back. Mundane, almost normal actions. He's done it before, just not much lately.
He's continued to keep away from others during most of the talking and information trade, on occasion pushing the equivalent of a double thumbs-up towards Istredd and whatever attempt at sharing the emotion? concept? of energy, but that's harder to figure out.
It's after that he makes himself available to the rest of the Summoned, as he's likely supposed to and all that. The introverts are putting themselves into it. He can be a team player (sometimes).
Go Team, Go.
Eugh.
He does pass by Istredd, once, when it's obvious this entire thing is draining heavily on the man. Look. He understands some things. He very obviously doesn't recognize the larger picture, couldn't even if Istredd wasn't hiding it from him.
But while Lucifer is not a physical creature by nature--well, he is, he simply refuses--Istredd is. Lucifer passes on the same, familiar touch to Istredd's back that the man has offered to him in the past and has managed to ease Lucifer (whether or not he's willing to admit it). It's an attempt to help--though he's unsure if it actually will achieve that goal or not.
