Glad to hear it. I have enough to clean up as it is.

[Always one to make it seem like he's the one put out, even if he's really just trying to make himself feel better about...doing that to his arm. He even winces as Klaus sets the limb without a word right in front of him. He's not sure what that would even feel like, but he has a rather vivid imagination at least.]

That's because I haven't seen her. I'm many things, but a liar isn't one of them. [He stands a little straight, straightening his tie and rebuttoning his jacket.] Besides, I consider her something of a friend. If she's missing, I'd be happy to help you try to find her.

[poppycock]

[ they must be a match made somewhere, because klaus has as little concern for lucifer's whinging as he does for his arm. he's suffered worse, and with much more malicious intent.

many others might pale and stutter over the devil being honest, but klaus has no such reservations. he believes lucifer, in part because there is no sign of freya. also because he simply does; putting even their sojourn to hogwarts aside, it's obvious to him what lucifer would and would not do. and a lack of motive aside, klaus can detect honesty when it is leveled at him; lucifer's offer to help is not heard on deaf ears.

klaus hesitates. lucifer would be a powerful ally, but this is family. this needs discretion. ] As blessed [ pun intended bro ] as I would be to have the devil on my side, I know where I need to go from here.

[ he turns for the door. ]

[I'm pretty sure the answer is hell.]

Yes, well, you know where to find me if you decide to change your mind. Either way, I look forward to seeing you both again soon. I have a suspicion you won't rest until you find her.

[ no, he won't, but lucifer's repeated offer has him slowing in his progress to leave. he slows to that stop, momentarily pulled off course by the realization: that lucifer not only feels like an ally, but like a friend, and might very well be, despite how vehemently klaus has tried to discount his fabricated memories and discount freya's link to the man.

it's a humbling thought, one that frustrates his better sense; agitates him because it's in part the result of wonderland's manipulations. still, he cannot help but consider to trust it, even against all the reasons to reject it. ] You tell me if you see her. [ those are his parting words; he speaks them and leaves without turning back. ]
