As tempting as it was to just stay in their little vacation bubble at sea, Duke and Octavia did have things to do back in Fandom now that the school break was over, so the Cape Rouge chugged back into port in the late afternoon to dock at her usual slip.

It was immediately beset by porgs.

"Alright, alright," Duke said, a laugh underlining the exaggerated annoyed tone of his voice. "I know, I know, how dare I exile you from your homes. I'm a cruel, cruel man."

"I know what that's like," Lucifer, who never had a problem oversharing sober, said. "Mine stood by and watched while Father threw me into hell."

"The Goddess of all Creation," Lucifer agreed, fiddling with his cuff. "They made us - and the universe - the old-fashioned way, actually. So of course that got scrubbed from the books."

"Have you never asked yourself why they call it the 'Big Bang'?" Lucifer sighed.

"Well, I did invent daddy and mommy issues," Lucifer said, almost uncharacteristically wry. "Sad to see them proliferate."

"Joke was on my mother, I suppose," Lucifer said. "She was thrown in Hell not long after me."

"It seems to be working for him," said Lucifer, grin about as broad as his tone was bitter.

"To be fair I did have to ditch it many times before I managed to figure out how to make sure I could stay 'ditched'," Lucifer said.

And he... probably wouldn't have known if Duke had asked, per se. He'd been more of a big picture guy.

"Oh, no, I just did a favor for my brother Amenadiel, and the price was that he wouldn't drag me back to Hell again," Lucifer said, smirking. "That was 2011. Haven't been back since."

"That was actually what I did for years after I got here," Lucifer said thoughtfully. "Handing out favors in return for I.O.U.s."

"Not souls, if that's what you're asking," Lucifer drawled, tilting his head.

"What on earth would I do with a soul?" Lucifer said. "General favors are much more useful. Like getting an invite to a party, or stopping some poor starlet from throwing her life away on bad boyfriends and blow."

Lucifer opened his mouth to make a wisecrack, and then... didn't. "She needed to," he said. "Unfortunately she was shot before she could get around to it."

"The murderer got what he deserved," Lucifer said.

Something dark snuck into his tone for a moment.

Then it passed.

"But most of my favors aren't nearly as complicated. People just always expect me to make them dangerous or illicit, as if I wish them any particular harm, or I'm just waiting to hoist them by their own petard."
