Lucifer's Mansion, Sunday Evening

[okteiviakom]

The main course of the evening would be a nice salad, this week. And that meant Octavia was chopping a lot of fresh things into a bowl that was fast filling up.

"Finally a dish that caters to my skills," she rasped, glancing over at Lucifer putting his finishing touches on the dessert.

[ooc: For that gently modded guy, and likely some SP because that is the Sunday mood.]

"No, I think you should wow me with your dessert, now."

See? She could play nice!

[my_own_advocate]

"Absolutely," Lucifer said, and grinned, sweeping up out of his seat.

He collected the bowl with the bananas, put the chocolate syrup on the stove and turned on the heat, and grabbed the ice cream from the freezer.

It was going to be excellent. Dammit.

[okteiviakom]

Octavia was counting on it.

She pushed her chair away from the table a little bit, and turned it, just so she could watch him work.

[my_own_advocate]

Lucifer gave the chocolate a good stir so it wouldn't stick, and set the ice cream down on the counter to melt just a little bit.

Another stir.

After that, it was quick work: take the chocolate off the stove, put two scoops of ice cream in each bowl, and then drizzle-- quite a lot of chocolate all over both bowls.

"Behold," he said, grabbing the first bowl, and holding it up triumphantly-- then he turned 'round, dropped to one knee, and offered it to her.

[okteiviakom]

It was unexpected, but very him. And it made Octavia chuckle a little.

"Well," she said, reaching out for the bowl. "Mochof."

[my_own_advocate]

Lucifer beamed. "Do enjoy," he said. "I hope your socks aren't blown off too violently."

He got back up as soon as she'd taken the bowl.

[okteiviakom]

"I knew I shouldn't have worn any," Octavia rasped as she set the bowl on the table and moved her chair again.

[my_own_advocate]

"A rookie mistake," Lucifer said, and took his own bowl off the counter, passing by her to his seat.

[okteiviakom]

Octavia gave a soft huff.

But dug into her dessert without any further delay, because it looked delicious. And tasted it, too, as was evident from her involuntary happy hum right after.

[my_own_advocate]

Lucifer grinned. Though at least he took a few bites before he said, "Good?"

[okteiviakom]

"Very," Octavia replied.

Simple but honest.

[my_own_advocate]

"Good," Lucifer said. That grin had definitely just lit up to a whole new level.

[okteiviakom]

It was even cuter than when he was huffy.

"You did well," Octavia felt compelled to say. "It's delicious." Which was why she was getting another scoop of ice cream and a bit of banana on her spoon right now, even.

[my_own_advocate]

"As long as you're happy," Lucifer said, smiling, "I'm delighted."

And now he was just... going to go eat his own dessert.

[okteiviakom]

It deserved some focus.

And Octavia being very thorough about licking her spoon.

[my_own_advocate]

Oh, hello, bonus. Lucifer abandoned his dessert for a moment to watch her.

For, uh, different reasons than earlier.

[okteiviakom]

It hadn't started out intentional, but then Octavia noticed he was paying attention, and so it became that.

There was no other explanation for how slowly she sucked the next spoonful clean.

[my_own_advocate]

Lucifer made just the-- tiniest noise in the back of his throat.

[okteiviakom]

Octavia looked perfectly innocent as she smirked up at him.

"Is your mind starting to wander?"

[my_own_advocate]

"Oh no," Lucifer said. "My mind is very... very... focused."

[okteiviakom]

"On my mouth?"

Well, it seemed that way.

[my_own_advocate]

No point in pretending otherwise. "Yes."

[okteiviakom]

"Good," Octavia decided, her lips curving a little further.

And scooped some more dessert onto her spoon.

[my_own_advocate]

Lucifer took a quick bite of his own. He was almost done, anyway. And now his mind was-- firmly on different things.

Sigh.

[okteiviakom]

Yeah, there wasn't that much left in Octavia's bowl, either. She was very careful and thorough about getting absolutely all of it, though - even if she didn't resort to licking the bowl, this time.

(If only because the bits of banana made it easier to scoop up every last drop of everything else.)

She gave a happy little sigh as she picked up her drink, everything else all finished. "Well, you definitely did good there."
