Lucifer accepted this was reckless from the start, probably because he was aware of the consequences he would endure. He never cared much for consequences, or more appropriately weathered them without much complaint. Many of the things he had feared were now in the past, washed away by understanding or his sheer stubborn refusal to bend to anyone else's will.
It was past the point of no return for Lucifer. This one angel was on his mind constantly, even if it was just a whisper in the background behind duties and demands on his person and time. Balthazar was always there in his thoughts. This was his partner and though it frightened the fallen angel to consider it, there may never be space for another. Even if the unthinkable happened and he was lost for some reason, a very concrete feeling weighed on his heart that he'd never cared like this before and could not envision it with anyone else.
"Is that a love of arrogance or that you know you are what I want?" Serious conversations or not, he's not about to pass up an opportunity to flirt. It's one of the many things he can't resist around this angel.
He falls silent to listen. It is reasonable, and probably well overdue, everything that Balthazar is asking. Still Lucifer sighs heavily but takes his partner's hands, holding tightly. It takes a moment to center himself as his mind swims in the request.
"You are my equal." Lucifer says first while still grappling with enormity of the request. "I would spare you the unwanted involvement if I could."
He pauses again "There are billions of years of politics. I am not sure what you will think important. Where do you want me to start?"
