The vulnerability was surging back and with it the discomfort. Then there is the touch and he leans into the hand in his hair. Lucifer feels emotionally fragile and exhausted. Still, he was already heading down a path of war and destruction why back down now. There was no sense to it.
"Eístenama óloina ekeísiellä, petaloúdo." He repeated what he had said earlier. He remembered saying it and doing so with purpose. His eyes were on Balthazar but he felt flighty inside. "You are all there is, my butterfly."
Lucifer shifts and sits down with Balthazar in his lap, holding him. He seems as shaken by the description of why the words were spoke as Lucifer felt about saying them. "I do not fear the fire. I have been chained in it more than once."
He touched Balthazar's cheek intent on encouraging him to see the scars on his wrists from where his bonds had burned him. "I am stronger now than I was when God first cast me aside."
If Balthazar was inclined to look. Lucifer had a matching set of shackle scars on his ankles, and a rather large scar down his shoulder and across the back under his wing that, as a weapons expert, Balthazar could easily identify as being from a sword.
