Flock Meeting

Getting a hold of Amenadiel was easy enough. A simple phone call was all that was needed there, since none of them actually knew what he did during the days. Or nights for that matter. Lucifer told them he was pretending to be a therapist for a while, but got caught out and busted by Linda and he stopped that.

Dan wasn't sure he wanted to know about that at all...

As it was, they were all now seated in the living room of Chloe's apartment, Trixie sitting on the couch with her mother and Ella. Dan was sitting in a chair from the kitchen and Amenadiel was standing over them like a silent sentinel.

Heh, guardian angel Amenadiel.

Trixie was enjoying the involvement very much too.

"Maybe you could get him a really thick, warm sweater!" the girl piped up, after they were done thinking of getting a joint gift of a designer brand coat for the devil. That was his idea. They ended up shooting the idea down, because they wouldn't be keeping enough money to eat and buy other presents. Their jobs simply did not pay enough for designer clothing brands.

Plus Dan and Chloe had Trixie to think of when it comes to presents. She would go nuclear if she got only one thing.

So, they decided any clothing ideas had to wait for after Christmas.

It was the whole before that was throwing them.

"He wouldn't wear it, monkey," Chloe answered their daughter's question.

"I don't see why he doesn't spend more time in the nest," Amenadiel stated, and Dan could tell if he had a full set of feathers right then they would be all puffed up in annoyance.

"He works both during the day and night, remember. He doesn't have a lot of time to just roll around in the comfort of his nest." Ella speaking reason since Linda wasn't there. As far as Dan could tell she was off getting drunk with Maze.

"That and he's adding to it. I have no idea what, but he said he was," Dan added. He had no idea what Lucifer was doing with the nest that needed changing. It was the most comfy room Dan ever kept time in. Probably in his whole life.

Amenadiel sighed and went over to the kitchen to grab a chair himself. "He has heating. Maybe one of us can see it is on so that he never forgets. Because, knowing him, he'd be busy with other things to remember to put it on."

"Why would he forget to put a heater on? That's silly!" Trixie stated.

The adults looked at each other. "Sometimes he gets back to his apartment really late, because he runs the club at nights. He generally just goes right to bed."

What Chloe was missing out on saying was that he generally had company with him at that time. But Trixie was not going to hear that from him. Or Chloe for that matter. As it was, he was pretty sure someone told her about sex at some point, since she had brought it up in the past few months.

It was ether Maze or Lucifer. One out of the two.

Trixie frowned. "He must get real tired then."

They all laughed at that. "Yeah, he gets tired," Dan replied, grinning at his daughter.

"Even angels need to sleep, little one," Amenadiel stated, probably catching on about the whole no sex talk in front of children. "And Lucifer is a morning person, naturally."

Trixie's eyes brightened at that. "Did Lucifer really make the stars?'

Amenadiel smiled down at the girl and nodded. "He did do that, yes. That was before he was sent to rule Hell."

Trixie nodded and went for the table which had a puzzle on it for her to do between her own questions.

Dan sighed. "So, we've got turning on his heat for him so he gets back to a warm apartment at nights. We've got trying to get him to spend more time in the nest. We've got clothing ideas that are way too pricey for this time of year, but can wait for later. What else have we got?"

Chloe shrugged. "Maybe extra blankets for his bed? He's not half as obsessed with duvets or blankets than he is with sheets. But it is sheets you actually have touching you, so that makes sense."

Dan nodded. "Extra bedding sounds good. Anything else?"

"We could make sure the water when you bathe his wings is warmer than it is now," Ella said, and Dan nodded at that.

'Yeah, this time of year it probably would feel cool to him, instead of the lukewarm it usually is. That sounds like a plan. I'll ask him how to heat it up later. I know he has a way of getting hot water to the taps outside."

Then Trixie piped up again. "Have him keep his wings out more. The feathers are warm!"

Dan looked down at his daughter and smiled, because that idea was at least a good one. Lucifer usually put his wings away right after he was fully awake again after being groomed and kept them away until they went home. Hmm, maybe they could try and urge him to spend his free time in the nest room with his wings out. Maybe sleep in there until his bed has better winter bedding on it.

He clapped his hands. "Okay, that's good. We have some ideas. We still need something for when he is working at the station that doesn't affect everyone, like putting the heat up would. I think we'll just have to wait and get him that coat."

With nods all around, the flock began to leave for their own places. Amenadiel first, followed shortly after by Ella. Dan stayed for a few extra minutes to say goodbye to his daughter, before turning to Chloe.

"We'll think of something soon enough, I'm sure of it. Night."

"Night," she replied back, before giving him a short hug. "Get home safe, it's beginning to get late. And it is way past our daughter's bedtime."

Dan grinned, looked to where Trixie was beginning to drop on the couch and nodded. "Will do. Bye."

And with their goodbyes out of the way, he let himself out, happy with how things had gone, regardless of not many ideas coming up.

He decided for a first meeting it went rather well. Now to tell Lucifer of their ideas and if he was up for any of it.
