AN: Prompt was this quote: Hell is more like boredom, or not having enough to do, and too much time to contemplate one's deficiencies. - Dorothy Gilman
Boredom: the state of being weary and restless through lack of interest
It's childish, she knows. Really childish. Immature, ridiculous… you name it.
But honestly. Sometimes, even the Mother of Demons, the Queen of Hell, the Lady of Darkness herself needs a little variety. You can only spend so many centuries torturing people in the same old ways before you start to get bored. It's a simple fact that the better you get at any one activity, the less concentration you have to expend to carry it out, and that in turn leaves you with very little to do other than think.
Lilith, who is of a surprisingly introspective turn of mind for a demon, hates when that happens to her. When bored, she finds she has far too much time to ponder her mistakes, agonize over her missteps.
Taking that bastard Azazel as a lover, for one. Getting careless enough, overconfident enough, for him to thrust her aside, for another. All that mess with Colt and his bloody gun could have been avoided if Azazel hadn't been such a man, violent and bullheaded and macho, my way or the highway. The mistakes don't start with him, of course, but for the moment, they stop there, thankfully.
So it's a nice change, this little party she has going, drawing her out of her gloomy thoughts, away from that dreary place called Hell where she's spent so many centuries. The terror, the desperation, the grief and anger of the humans, oh, how she soaks it all up, drinks it, like blood, like the elixir of life to ones such as her.
(And, OK, might as well be honest, the cake is pretty great, too.)
But soon, she won't need even this anymore to keep herself busy. Soon, he will be hers, that beautiful broken hunter who killed her lover, slaughtered their son, tortured their daughter.
Not long after, one he is no longer there to play protector, the brat Azazel chose to follow him – the brat Azazel placed above her son by him – will be gone, and then none will stand in her way.
And then she'll have entertainment aplenty.
