AN:
My way of how Azathoth's tears should have gone with Octavia
Blue rabbits:
Wanting to make up with his daughter for not taking her to a Meteor Shower the first time around. Had Stolas stressing one morning in making that moment up to her. Until in walked Elanye being led by the servant Imp and he was struck with an idea. Off her shoulder her owl flew to the corner of his desk when she entered. Happily Stolas ended up stroking those soft feathers when Hoo- Hoo landed near him.
"Well yes," Elanye didn't understand Stolas' line of questioning, "My nephew just turned 16 and came into his gifts. Why are you interested?"
"Any plans for this year's Meteor Shower with your brother?" Stolas further asks.
"I planned on asking Lucifer to be a part of it since he also wants to meet my family in the living world," She didn't understand, "What are you getting at?"
"Can I bother you to allow my starfire and myself to join you?" He asked.
"You do know, my family aren't like normal people?" She warned him, "They actually know what you lot are and aren't like D.H.O.R.K.S."
At the very mention of D.H.O.R.K.S, Hoo- Hoo screeched with wings flapping like a made owl. Showing his strong dislike toward those ignorant groups of humans toward the occult. Which had Stolas agreeing when he hand fed the owl a chuck of gourmet rat meat.
"I know," He happily clapped, "Fact your nephew is in the same age range as my starfire makes this easier."
"You should know," She placed an invoice down, "He's been magically educated and trained since he was five. Will be going by his craft name then his actual name for safety reasons."
This bit of news was filed away by him as he reviewed the itemized invoice of deliveries in the past week. Usual was for his gardening hobby in the form of his plants one way or another. Always consisted of packaged harpie dung, an organic Mulch, Mixed basket of white and black apples, and smoked rat meat. In a tidy sum he would pull out his billfold to pay while needing to make arrangements.
"I'll be contacting your brother?" Stolas asked her.
"Like usual." She accepted his payment.
Any other details would be sorted out between her brother and Stolas when she put the check away. Thanking her for dropping off his gift to Blitzo and the invitation to tea with him. Up went her hood that hid her smile after she stated he deserved to be happy. Saying her goodbyes as he opened a portal for her to go to her next location. Being the clearing in the familiar set of woods where Adam was strumming a guitar. He sat on her swing with a wireless microphone nearby just playing a few cords. Leans on against one of the supporting ropes with a tad bit of sorrow. Her owl flew through the closing portal and on to his perch near Ajax's nest .
"In trouble again?" Her voice ended his playing, "I can try to talk with Charlie and Lucifer that you slip is all."
"Nothing happened," He sighed, "More like I was told to chill here while your bro has been weird."
"Your haven't noticed?" She asked him, "Ever since Lucifer stuck you here to help Charlie in rehabbing you. Change in my brother's behavior since you were put to work around here?"
"Besides not being attacked by that crazy duck anymore and this guitar," Adam didn't understand, "What am I missing?"
Reviewed his way through his interactions with Wywave until feeling unburied itself DEEP within him. Ones he hadn't felt since his time in edan with Lillith, Angel Lucifer, and Eve. Where the sparks of friendship and even love slowly formed between the four of them.
"Mind blown." Adam sat forward on the swing.
"Good luck," Elanye walked passed Adam, "You're the first my brother showed favor toward outside our family. He has never grown to like anyone, alive or dead."
"How about that Alastor dude?" Adam recalled Alastor always hanging around.
"My brother doesn't fear Alastor and they share similar interests," She pointed out, " Haven't you noticed?"
Adam came to notice the lack of ANY television screens in the cabin or the structure a few feet away. Record player / radio player found in the main communal room. In Wywave's large collection of music was jazz records from the living world. Wireless speakers also arranged in the treetops throughout the woods. Were among the few things that Adam found throughout the property.
"….." Adam became speechless.
Elanye had to walk to him to close his mouth before making her way to the cabin to change her clothing. Not noticing when she stepped through the front door after opening it. She found a curious Lucifer standing before her brother's Meteor Shower planning board. A map and copy of blueprints beside a series of colored post- its. Using the top part of his walking stick to review date and time beside location.
"Found something interesting?" She asked to watch him..
"Came to see if you were up for a date night and found this." He tapped the board with his walking stick.
"That is a part of tradition that dates back to when my brother and I were still alive," She explained, "I was going to ask you to join us while getting you to meet my nephew."
"So much to think about," He walked toward her, "Up in helping me thinking it over?"

Finding an isolated location to settle and watch Meteor Shower was a census-designated place in Santa Fe County, New Mexico, United States. A small town in the middle of nowhere with little to do, most people were used to the big city. Called home to the 13th generation of Bloodmarch family since the spring of last year. Consisted of a housewife/ witch happily married to spiritualist and area's newest NPS ranger. Their only son came in the form of a 16 year old with the brightest crystal blue eyes. Flakes of silver that appeared in his eyes and magical undertone in his singing voice. Were changes he was getting used to besides two familiars he inherited. Weren't really being much help when he was trying to cast a moon spell. Since he was currently sitting upside down on a picnic table holding at jar of water.
Not paying attention to an adolescent avian demon with a rather lanky figure with unkempt slate-gray feathers. In a romper inspired by a mycena subcyanocephala from 2- layer shorts to ribbon tie back. Her black beanie hat with a pale yellow tiara replaced by jeweled barrettes. A splash of soft-midnight eyeshadow replaced her usual purple. Approach him out of curiosity then be around the adults introducing each other a few feet away. Her eyes laid on the leather bound book with a strap buckle attached to the cover. Held a single bloodstone surrounded by runic letters making up the cover .
"Excuse me?" She spoke as loudly as she could to gain his attention, "Are you alright?l
"Deciding what to do with this jar of moon water," He held up the jar, "My mom gave me a magical assignment and I can't pick what to do."
"Can't help you on that one," She looked sourly in the direction of her dad, "I was never taught any spells."
"What sounds better," He placed the jar beside his familiars on the table, "Harvest moon or Blood Moon ritual?"
"Is there a difference?" She didn't understand.
"Well," He sat right side up, "One celebrates Esbats and other contacts the spirit of an ancestor."
"That is a hard one to choose." She stood there intrigued by both.
"I am VJ and animals on the table are my familiars," He went on to introduce them, "Persian Siamese is Suun Lee and Indigo snake is Loon."
"Princess Octavia, daughter of Prince Stolas and Stella, member of Ars Goetia." She spoke of her informal greeting.
Victor went quiet for a minute not over the fact she was a part of Ars Goetia from depths of Hell. She had no magical knowledge after reviewing their conversation within his head. He dismissed when he straightened out the way he sat to welcome her seat with him. She accepted and asked about the book being his family's Grimoire lying before him.
"Yea," He replied, "One of the few from my mom's side of the family since one was lost in a house."
"Meaning your mom has a collection?" She guessed.
"Yea actually," He was never bothered by it, "My mom's side are made up of sorcerers and witches with nephilim blood. While my dad's side are made up of psychics from all walks of life."
Smile that spread across her face and light in her eyes was noticed instantly by her father across the way. They were completely different from the frown she always wore when at home. Having to endure her mother's negative attitude growing up started to worry him.
"I hear this trip was your idea," Lucifer's voice turned his head, "Care to share?"
"That," Stolas pointed out his daughter's smile, "Smile of a child is worth it."
Stolas' words couldn't be any more meaningful to Lucifer when he was reminded of Charlie's smile. Seeing the women that his daughter had become had him smiling in his own way. As his mind filled with memories over past few months leading to when the hotel was rebuilt.
"Hey! You two," Elanye joined them, "Meteor Shower is about to start."
"Shall we?" Stolas looked to Lucifer.
A blanket and normal telescope was set up for them to all sit on and enjoy the sight about to happen. Had Elanye leaving her brother and Adam to fetch where Octavia wandered off. To remind her what then came here to do as she caught her socializing with her nephew. Who was invited to join them since he had more faces for him to meet.

The topic of a child's smile stayed on Lucifer's mind after they returned to Hell. Which Wywave long after the Meteor Shower where Adam and he talked things about their feelings. Coming to the same page that left Adam speechless over Wywave's confession. Where he was told about being given all the time in hell to get back to Wywave. Along with being allowed to further stay with him then return to the hotel. Allowing Wywave to lightly touch him and get close enough to whisper in his ear.
"Like watching a kid with his first crush," Elanye watched Adam and her brother, "Isn't it?"
She found that Lucifer had been caught up in a thought since their return with little to say. Not that she could take his hand and spy into what was on his mind without his consent. Made her shake her head side to side to dismiss the intrusive thought. Along with remembering both of them were wearing their gloves. Which is how Lucifer was pulled from his mind upon hearing an airy laugh from Elanye. Gleeful way her eyes to upturned way she smiled with her lips had his reaching out.
"Something funny?" He asked, not understanding.
His answer came when he reached out to take hold of the fingers that were resting on her chin. Through their unspoken connection he saw her brother being soft with Adam. The two say close to each other or closely spoke to each other. Made him share with her memories of his times with Adam, Eve, and Lilith in Eden. Sitting under the shade of trees on hot days or soaking in the cool waters of the lake. Playing his violin alongside Adam on his guitar as Lilith sang a song. As Eve watched from the side, giving encouragement for them to carry on. Gave Elanye further glance into Lucifer's past and she wholeheartedly accepted. Until she was presented with their memories of when Lilith was pregnant with Charlie. How Lucifer sang to a growing womb cuddled beside her whooshed by. Were filled with images of Charlie throughout her toddler years in her father's arms. Strong vibes of love from each one beside another emotion told Elanye something.
"Just how adorably funny you look lost in thought," She wove their fingers together, "How …. maybe a child or two would look on them…"
"Ah." He was hopeful.
"1 or 4?" She hinted.
"I wouldn't care," His smile widened, "As long they had sliver of your kindness."
"I want nothing, but a young man with your charm." She was oddly specific.
Their moment came to an end when Adam started laughing and Wywave told him to quiet down. Hoo - hoo wasn't any help when he turned his head and flapped his wings.
"Something funny?" Lucifer got defensive.
"From what Charlie says about you two going at it like a bunnies," Adam ignored Wywave's response to be quiet, "Why haven't you knocked her up."
"Really?" Wywave asked Adam.
"Oh my," Elanye blushed at Adam's comment, "I didn't know they could hear us.
Wywave ended up witnessing Adam cocoon himself within his wings as form of protective from Lucifer's fury. Elanye ended up distracting Lucifer by getting assured by him, they were never that loud.
