[And Aleph will find the King of Demons stretched out in one of the corners, a bottle of wine and glasses beside him. He holds the bottle out a bit towards Aleph.]
It's true. Even though I'm not the only one anymore - I don't think I could possibly hide and let everyone else handle things in the tower, either. I wouldn't be able to face myself.
The only 'savior'. Plenty of people here are strong and have done great things. There's no reason anyone would pin all their hopes on me. But I can't just sit back either when there's a chance my strength would help.
I expect great things from many of the people of this Tower. But I still wonder.
[And he's growing tired. And angry. It's taking a great deal to not try and make a spectacle of himself, to reveal himself to all, at this point. Because what point is there in hiding his identity after a half a year of captivity with no change.]
...A great deal of time has passed in our world since you cast down YHWH, Aleph. I've lived a long, long while after it.
[Lucifer pauses, and shrugs, and takes another sip of wine. He wants to tell you what happens. About the constant death of worlds within the Amala, and their recreation. Of your role as a sacrifice in each of them due to YHWH's petty behavior.
He doesn't know what it is; Lucifer would never have hesitated to tell this to any other. But to you, Aleph...there's something holding him back. And he doesn't know what.]
You helped as long as you could, and more than any could have expected.
It's pointless to have regret for something that could not be helped.

Try it. You'll like it.
It's Dionysus'.

-no wonder he has a reputation for good wine. This is amazing.
Action
He messed around with a few different alcohols for a while. A Port here. A whiskey there.
But he always found himself coming back to wine. It was his calling.
And in the end we always come back to what we're meant to do.
[...Well shit. That sounded a bit more somber than he meant. Let him just take a drink from his own glass.]

Not the only what?

I wish I could have helped you longer.
[Both because he hates the idea of YHWH rising again, and because he hates the idea that Lucifer should carry out his fight alone.]

[It is this human disease called friendship.]
Action
[Now there's a pattern of thought he's far more accustomed to.]
As time goes on, there might be. And I do have a request of you, albeit a small one, if possible.
Action
[He's more alert now despite the drink. It's not another fetch quest, right...?]
Re: Action
Have you met him?
Action
Action
He reminds me a great deal of my Father. And I believe he might have the power to nearly compare.
Action
[He takes another sip of wine. Alcohol is an excellent way to deal with Godlike beings.]
