I didn't get fired. Though sometimes I wondered if I should have. Or maybe I wished I had been.

[ In a way, being completely ostracized by the entirety of her department had been a worse punishment than losing her job. Granted, it's what resulted in her teaming up with Lucifer, which wasn't a bad thing.

It also destroyed her marriage, but she's not sure that was a bad thing, either. ]

I think if it's something you want that much, you can figure out how to make it work.

Why would you wish that?
It's not what you really wanted,
is it?

[He's steadily more aware of just how much he's admitted to her,
and it slowly sinks in and squirms, uncomfortable in his stomach. He may be high, and that may influence how he reacts and what he says, but it isn't a complete rewrite of his personality, the core of him still exists the same as ever-- and talking this openly? It's uncomfortable.]

Yeah... I guess I just have to figure it out.

[Not that he has a clue of where to start.]

[thevulnerability]

It's not what I wanted. But I also didn't want members of my squad calling me a bitch whenever I showed up in a bar. Gets hard to ignore after a while.

[ The last time it happened, Lucifer had punched one of them out. He was always standing up for her, even and especially when she didn't want him to. ]

Listen if it's something you think you might not want to do alone I've kind of been thinking about it too.

[deadlycurves]

Yeah, I guess it would. [What else can he say to that? That last text, though? That sends him reeling a little. He was just talking. Debating. It was an idea, not a plan he was ready to put into any kind of action, yet.] Oh. I'm...you know, still thinking about it, but... yeah. Maybe. It'd be nice to know somebody, going in, at least.

[thevulnerability]

Yeah it would.

[ She's not going to pressure him, but she does suspect it would be a good idea for him. Probably for her, too. ]

Just let me know.

You gonna be ok?

[deadlycurves]

I will.

Yeah, I think so.

[This was not where he expected to land when he first sent Chloe a text, but... he's not sure he hates it, either. Unexpected isn't his favorite thing in the world, but maybe sometimes it's not so bad.]

[thevulnerability]

[ She didn't expect it, either. Chloe really didn't expect anything from Diego, and sometimes she's exhausted trying to get everyone else to open up to her. But it's also in her nature, and she can't really help it. ]

You can text me whenever you want to talk if it helps.

[deadlycurves]

Thanks, Chloe.

[thevulnerability]

You're welcome.
