A surprised laugh at the half-joke threat. Luci relaxed more as those kisses peppered all over his face though, having missed affection with his Az.
"Mm, fair enough. If I poof, you can punch me in the dick. But, I promise that I don't plan on going anywhere.. I missed you too."
❝ If you poof & I wake up, I will find you & punch you in the dick. ❞
⠀⠀Half-joking as he peppered Luci's face in little kisses, leaving black imprints in his wake. No he will not tell Lucifer he has lipstick marks all over his face.
❝ I missed you so much, Lululemon~ ❞
The older's cool went out the window at the way his brother referred to his daughter. He growled low in his throat as he turned to fully face him, his eyes red, horns appearing on his head, but just managing to not let his wings or tail appear. He glared up at the taller in

⠀⠀His eyes narrowed as he crossed his arms.
❝ Do you happen to know why Adam is perma-dead? I'm told you & your literal crotch demon were behind it. ❞

of us were the ones to actually kill him, no. He was killed by a Sinner. A regular person in Hell killed his ass because he was too busy being his cocky and mouthy self to pay attention to his surroundings in the middle of a war *he wanted*. But I guess I should be

"I'm sorry, Azzy.. But, I really am here this time. I promise.."
He hugged the angel tightly, trying to think of how to make him belive he was really back. He wasn't sure how though, having experienced his own mind fooling him and having yet to figure out how to avoid it.
❝ My mind has lied to me before. ❞
⠀⠀An understatement, but he'd keep holding Lucifer anyway just in case he did fade away.
❝ How can I be certain you're really you? ❞

"Hello, little brother... You're here! Thats... *cough* anyway.. What are you on about? You need something? I'm sure that bell hop is around somewhere if you do."
He spoke their holy tongue up until he asked if he needed something. He didn't like using the language much..
The calm he tried to maintain broke a bit as he heard that native language of theirs. He definitely remembered it, the language being spoken in all of his worst memories and his harshest nightmares. He shuttered a bit and his eyes turned red just hearing it..
But, he was

quick to settle himself back down and not react any further as he turned toward his younger brother. He made sure to keep his cool enough that his wings, tail, nor his horns made an appearance at least. He then gave an attempt at a smile, though it was more of a grimace.

refuses to let him appear weak. So, he glares back after a short moment of blank hesitation before he turns his gaze away again. He plasters on his overly friendly fake smile again and goes back to avoiding looking toward the angel.
As he looks around the lobby, he eventually can't help but to glance toward his brother. He sees that glare full of strong negative emotion and feels his heart drop to his gut. He feels so much hurt, anxiety, and guilt having his sibling's eyes on him like that. But his pride

⠀⠀Michael could do this all day. All the hurt in pain of the past concentrated into one expression. He wish Adam had did his job. If only Lucifer hadn't been so stupid all those years ago. If /,only/.
Hell's king knew already that their time apart had to have been hard on Az, it was definitely hard on Lu.. So, he wasn't surprised by the tight hug nor by his words. He hugged him more firmly before responding in a soft tone.
"I promise, it's not a dream, Azie.. I'm here."
⠀⠀Was his Lululemon really in his arms again, or was his mind fucking with him again? Azrael couldn't tell anymore. This scene had played out so many times in his mind already.
❝ Please tell me this isn't another dream. ❞
⠀⠀He quietly uttered.
Still smiling widely and keeping his cool across the lobby. He's doing his best to keep his happy and carefree vibes going as not to do anything to upset his daughter or her friends and patrons - despite his brother's presence making him itch and feel irritated.
⠀⠀Still glaring. He's not going to mask his displeasure of being in Hell, much less forced to be take part in Charlie's BS. Even if all he did was keep tabs on Emily.
