So it's not about Lucifer but it not being about Lucifer is your point?

Do immortals try to be obtuse or are you all too old to figure out how text messaging works?

( sigh. she'd thought you were smarter than this )

The false god. He's apparently here. Physically.

[ All of those words make sense independently but not in that order. ]

Wait you mean like Lucifer's dad? Is here? Right now?

( in the weirdest sense also her parent but she's not going there. ever )

Yes.

( here's the kicker. is there one false god despite the multiple universes or does each world have a different version of god too? a question she doesn't want answering )

Does Lucifer know?

[ This is bad. This is so so bad. Or maybe it's good. No, it's definitely bad. Maybe. ]

They've spoken. Though he didn't believe it.

That's gonna be a tough call. Lucifer doesn't believe anything if it's not directly about him.

[ Which is probably some kind of irony, considering his circumstances. ]

I don't know if I should bring it up to him or wait for him to mention it.

[ It's a choice between him being touchy and distant or flying into a blind rage, neither of which she really wants to deal with. ]

That's your decision.

( and not why she'd contacted. silly mortal affairs? no thank you )

If he truly is the false god there'd be signs of his presence. Considering your affinity for being involved in celestial affairs I thought you may have seen some.

Affinity. Right.

[ Howdy boy does she want to argue with that but... She really can't. She does keep getting caught up in all of this. ]

I haven't. But even if I did I don't know why you'd want me to report it to you.

Report?

( please, that whole sentence involves loyalty and lilith knows there isn't any )

And if such a thing threatened this world? Again?

[ She sighs. ]

You think he's a threat to the world?

I think if he is truly a god that's been contained here something could be.

And if that happens, there's something you could do about it? With that coven of yours?

[ Chloe might do her best to not be involved, but she knows what's up. ]

I have no idea. It's something I haven't faced before. We summoned the sisters here but I don't know how his power would react.

Lucifer isn't exactly a reliable witness when it comes to his dad. I don't know what he would be capable of and I don't know, if something does happen, if it would be a good idea for Lucifer to get involved.

[ She's not... really sure what she means by that. Maybe she means she'd come to Lilith with information before she did Lucifer. ]

I hadn't intended to involve him.

( she may be friendly with him but she still has lucifer-issues )

Though there's nothing to be involved in. Not if he hasn't acted.

But if I see any potential sign of him acting, you want me to tell you.

Any warning is preferable.

( she may absolutely just be thinking of her own skin )

[ Chloe hesitates. She doesn't quite like the idea of working with Lilith, but this isn't really them working together, right? Chloe knows her type - she knows she's looking out for herself. Saving anyone else would be a by-product, but that isn't something she's unused to.

Lucifer ever solving a case always seemed to be a by-product of looking out for himself. But it worked, and maybe the outcome is all that matters. ]

One condition.

Go on.

Keep Lucifer out of it.

[ This goes against everything she's been angry about him doing to her over the last couple of years, but all's fair, etc. ]

That was the plan.

As much as he may not be the Lucifer I know there is only so much I would give to him.

I don't trust you to not involve him if you think it would benefit you.

[ She's not under any allusion that Lilith gives a shit about Lucifer. But she's not an idiot. ]

So I want your word that you will leave him alone.

You would trust my word when you don't trust me?

( curious )

No, not really. But your word is better than nothing.
