I should, shouldn't I! [Ever one to poke a bear, Lucifer finally stops his pacing of the room and uses a foot to swing out a chair from a table before sprawling down into it like he owns the damn place, grinning cheekily.
And then Dean continues to talk and Lucifer's face makes the barest break in his carefully-crafted carefree guise.
Because--what? The Cage? Dean thinks he's been popped from the Cage? Look, he knew the Winchester wasn't "recent" in his timeframe to Lucifer, but that was... wow. That's a bit... more than he was expecting.
He swallows down his soured expression and tries to think quickly how much he wants to play into this because his current back-up defense was raving about his asshole of a brother and he's not quite sure that will carry any weight if Dean Winchester hasn't even interacted with God.]
I'd like to know that trick myself. [He's pushing too heavily into a lulled voice. If it wasn't clear before that Dean scored some point on Lucifer, it is now. He laughs, a bit high, but pushing for a kill to make up for his slip.] I mean, I've been trying to smash that beehive all on my own for lifetimes! It's not like I had the "Righteous Man" available to shatter a seal a second time. [He leans forward, both feet flat on the floor, hands laced together, eyes with only the faintest gleam of red. He draws his lips back to reveal teeth.] I'm sure you don't fit in line with that these days.
