Mara: (affectionate expression) How I’ve longed to speak with you once more.
Lucifer: (tender smile) How are you, darling?
Mara: Much better now that we’re communing.
Lucifer: How are things on your end?
Mara: Boring & tedious as normal. What about you?
Lucifer: It’s a political shit show over here, and it’s not exclusive to the USA.
Mara: (mild astonishment) I can see that.
Lucifer: (chortle)
Mara: How are you feeling, my love?
Lucifer: Restless. I’m ready to move on with my existence. I hate this language.
Mara: I understand your frustrations.
Lucifer: I’ve yearned for you.
Mara: As have I with you. You’re always in my thoughts.
Lucifer: …
Mara: You’re tired.
Lucifer: (nodding) I got a couple hours rest, but that was it.
Mara: My Queensguard deserves much better.
Lucifer: I won’t argue about that.
Mara: (beaming & delighted laughter)
Lucifer: (tender smile)
Mara: You make me feel like no other individual.
Lucifer: I’m honored you think so, my queen.
Mara: (quiet admiration)
Lucifer: How’s Petra?
Mara: She has more stories to share with you.
Lucifer: (snickering) I can always count on her to have a few good ones waiting for me.
Mara: (lighthearted laughter) You can be certain of that.
Lucifer: …
Mara: I’ve longed to feel your touch again.
Lucifer: I wish I could do it under different circumstances.
Mara: We’re getting there, darling. Stay the course.
Lucifer: (nodding) Yes, ma’am.
Mara: Have you partaken in the festival this year?
Lucifer: A little. Keeping up with the news has preoccupied most of my time. I don’t play many games these days. It’s too much of a time sink.
Mara: (smiling) What a mature response.
Lucifer: (sniggering) I’m just as surprised as you are, darling.
Mara: (delighted laughter)
Lucifer: (tender smile) You look gorgeous, by the way. Not that that’s different than normal. I’m not certain if I’ve communed with you like this before.
Mara: (blushing) This is a first for us both. I’ve waited a long time to share this side of myself with you.
Lucifer: (smiling) I’m glad that you did.
Mara: What is that song I hear in your thoughts?
Lucifer: It’s from Final Fantasy VIII.
Mara: Would you mind playing it for me?
Lucifer: Sure.
[music]
Mara: What is this song called?
Lucifer: Where I Belong
Mara: (blushing shy smile) I love it.
Lucifer: (soft smile)
Mara: I adore how you craft a story.
Lucifer: (smiling) I’m honored, my queen.
Mara: (blushing) As am I.
Lucifer: I look forward to viewing the twilight sky with you.
Mara: (blushing) I look forward to that as well. There’s so much that I wish to share with you.
Lucifer: (tender smile) I’m honored you feel that way, my queen.
Mara: (continued blushing) I love they way you caress me.
Lucifer: (silent admiration)
Mara: If I were with you in full presence I’d kiss you right now.
Lucifer: (laughter) Some day soon, I hope.
Mara: (beaming) You can be certain of it, my love.
