Duke woke up . . . feeling perfectly fine, actually. Or as perfectly fine as he ever did. Perhaps his body had built up an immunity to the pollen after all these years. Perhaps he'd eaten some particularly quirky yogurt as a depression snack the day before. Perhaps -- and this was the unlikeliest of all if you asked him -- whatever was in charge of the island's whims and quirks was just giving him a damned break this time.

Whatever it was, he was not feeling any extra-strong urges today. He was, however, bemusedly watching a pair of porgs chase each other around the deck while he drank his first coffee of the day, and wondering if it was a sign that spring had finally sprung.

". . . Aww, c'mon, guys," he said, as one porg finally caught the other. "Get a room. I know you have access to several belowdecks."

He didn't even have a salad for them to be in front of! Come on, now.

[open! I'm trying a whole "30 minutes working, 5 minutes walking" thing after listening to NPR yesterday and it's maybe actually doing a good thing for my brain!]

"Do they, or does she just exist near them better than either of us?" Lucifer asked, sitting down.

"I suppose," Lucifer said. He sounded skeptical.

He looked up at Duke. "So how are you this morning, excitable porgs aside?"

"Good," Lucifer said, with a little curve of his mouth. "Perhaps we can go out and pick up some proper coffee and some pastries soon? A proper breakfast."

"Well, you do know what milkshakes bring me to the yard," Lucifer said, grinning.

"And I'm immediately game," Lucifer said, delighted. "Date night?"

"Sounds perfect," Lucifer said, grinning. "I'll be free and entirely yours for the evening."

"I thought you might," Lucifer said, rising back up out of his seat. He joined Duke instead.

"I think you're the one we're generally most concerned with this time of year," Lucifer noted, as he leaned slightly into Duke's arm. "You'll let me know if anything starts... tingling?"

"Just making sure," Lucifer sighed. "Now I take it Octavia is being stubborn about it?"

"Suppose I should make sure I'll be there when she inevitably implodes," Lucifer said. "At least she had her fill last night."

"You know you don't have to if it does make you uncomfortable in some fashion," Lucifer offered, sliding an arm around Duke's shoulders.

From: [personal profile] my_own_advocate
"All right, then," Lucifer said.

He turned his head. Mainly to give Duke a proper kiss in response.
