"I cornered Dan on Saturday. Had to go to the station to do it. And also thankfully, managed to corner him and corral him into Ella's lab for privacy."

Linda smiled at hearing that. "Oh, that's good! So, how did it go?"

"Well, he accepted the apology, and then I also told him of Uriel's death, minus the me killing him part. I also told Ella about that ages ago. In some pretty serious detail actually. Seemed only fair that I told him about it. Don't know if I should tell Beatrice though. Do you think that would be a good idea?"

Linda titled her head to the side to think, mainly because she knew Lucifer liked when she did that and he was in such a good mood today, she was just trying to keep it up. "I think you might have to word it slightly different, but I don't see why you shouldn't tell her that you've been sad because your brother died."

"Do you think Dan will be angry with me for telling her?"

"I don't think Dan truly has a say in this particular thing. Just, no telling her you killed him, definitely. No telling her that he was insane, as she probably wouldn't understand that. Just tell her you're sad because your mum is not very nice to you and that your brother died. Children do understand death a little. She might want you to explain it if no one around her has died."

"Well, she saw me die, and Malcolm, so she does know what death is. Also she knows because of her grandpa not being around, unlike her grandma."

Linda nodded. "It's a good enough way to introduce a child to death without anyone actually dying on them. Usually it's through the death of a grandparent or a beloved pet."

He grimaced at her. "Yeah. Well, Uriel was the first death in my family. Hit everyone I have met so far pretty hard. Still waiting for Azrael to come collect her dagger, but so far she's a no show. She surely knows its missing by now, though she does have other weapons.'

Linda closed her eyes and sighed. "Let's just go back to Dan shall we?"

He nodded and grinned. "Yes, Dan. As I said, he accepted the apology, which is good. He seems to be sympathetic, but isn't going to let that change his attitude towards me. I told him that my mum might try to spread bad rumours about me, getting people to turn against me, so anything he hears should be seen as lies unless otherwise stated to be truths. He knows I don't lie so he'd ask me. I told him unless he sees me saying or doing what I am accused of, to try and find the truth, because it probably isn't."

Linda smiled and nodded. "Good! Did you tell that to Ella?"

He shook his head. "No need, I know she won't turn on me. She has faith."

Nodding, Linda leaned back in her chair. "So, you're pretty sure you have gained two allies in this fight you feel you will inevitably have against your mother in the near future. That's very good. You have people to go to who will fight in your corner and prove the truth to others. You're no longer alone. And soon you will have another two to add. And nothing raises spirits better than having the complete and total trust of a child on your side. Trixie will help you see that, hopefully. And Chloe. I doubt you'll have as much trouble as you fear you will, though she may be angry with you for going to her last. You'll probably have to explain that one to her."

He grimaced at her again, though she could tell that his hopes were beginning to go up with the success of getting Dan on his side. She knew he'd been worrying about him.

Lucifer reclined in the seat and sighed. "Well, that's mainly all I came here for today. Got a set tonight, if you're interested. Sure Patrick will enjoy your company again. You can always borrow another spare room if you like." He wiggled his eyebrows at her, and with a grin she reached across the table and slapped his shoulder.

"Shut up, you. Not for singing though, you have a lovely voice."

He laughed at that as he got up. "Of course I do, love. I'm an angel."

Shaking her head, and unable to remove the grin from off her face, she held up her hand to stop him walking out. "Call me when you're ready to talk about how it goes with Trixie. And see you on Thursday for your normal appointment. I'm still really happy with you doing this. It will help in the long run."

He nodded. "I actually do feel a little better having told people. Less...heavy."

"That's good. Have a good set tonight."

He nods and leaves her room, closing the door behind him.

Since the mess with Uriel, good days for him are very far and in between. She's glad he's having one today.
