Yes.
Seems to be going around to everyone.
To say he is in pain and exhausted would be an understatement. He might be the most tired he's ever been, and the lingering pain feels like it is throughout his entire body. Istredd has no idea how he is going to go to the banquet tonight feeling like he can barely drag himself back, but it might seem suspicious. He looks completely fine on the outside but feels like a punching bag on the inside. After saying goodbye to the others, he heads back to the room.
When the pain was happening, he couldn't concern himself with Lucifer feeling it because it was so all-encompassing and blinding. They pushed past it after the initial agony, and only then could he form thought. In truth, he doesn't know how long that part lasted. He reached out as soon as he could think to reassure, although then he had to focus on the Singularity and couldn't give more.
Lucifer can feel him through the bond worn beyond sanity and nearby again, their bond strong again in only the way proximity can give. It is hard to say if they got anything of value back in the obvious way, for such a risk, but Istredd also doesn't know the lasting effects yet. Only that he wants to collapse onto his bed and lie there for an undetermined amount of time, until he's forced to drag his body to a dinner. And that will lead him to Cirilla. Terrible timing.
Istredd does throw himself on his bed, face down, and just ... lies there. His bag drops to the side.

Lucifer does come back to the room the moment he can extricate himself from his hawkeyed babysitting duties, staring down at Istredd with such impossible disdain.
"I hate you," Lucifer rasps, aloud, "so much."
For the debilitating pain that Lucifer was lucky enough that his brother found him, and isn't that so screwed up? That he had to rely on Michael. For the entire stress it's brought on, and will continue to mount.
The words are vitriol but the thoughts? There's nothing but relief and concern and confusion because Lucifer hardly knows what to do with the first two feelings. Churned up and unable to disperse, a constant. He doesn't want any of them but they won't go away, and it's so hilarious that he thought his anger would be a problem over the link. Maybe it's still there. The cause of it all, but a completely different kind of anger than he's experienced.
Not for billions of years, anyway.
He tosses a plate of bread down on a table nearby. Something Istredd could likely consume without losing his stomach. The gesture, and the actual feelings roiling between them, are enough to contradict the spoken words.

[ Through their connection, shortly after they're informed about Borrel. ]
Guess who did a religious ritual yesterday on the water?

I wish I could say I was surprised.
I'm really, really not.

[ Earlier that day, Istredd tells Lucifer he is going on a walk with Urianger to get new books and go over them together. He seems fairly excited about it bur doesn't go into too much enthusiasm because he knows it can get boring.
A few hours after he left to meet Urianger, very suddenly Lucifer will feel a very sudden burst of emotions. Adrenaline and fear shoot through the bond and then the sort of fading energy that comes from being drugged or knocked out. He slowly loses consciousness, flickering in and out before it goes silent.
He does say a loud Lucifer! after that initial shock and before he passes out, and then nothing else. ]

I figured 'help' out when you went missing!
You need to give me a bit more than this! Prison where? How many people do they have now?
Lucifer knows avoiding the Horizon isn't likely doing Istredd any good, but it's Necessary. For Lucifer. Because right now? Right now he's mentally stable and one of them has to be, even if their connection must be near-to-nonexistent (sure as hell feels that way, anyway).
And if Lucifer sees Istredd he has a funny feeling he's going to lose what little hold of himself he currently has.
It's necessary.
He heads back to his room. Closes the door behind him and thumps his back to it, arms folded, expression blank as he looks to Kyle.
"So?"

[ This probably gets sent to Lucifer the next night. ]
I never learned much about your story. All I know is what little others have told me.
[ Others as in Jack and Wilhelm. ]
Who are Castiel and Michael to you?
[ Was he creeping on Castiel's group message a few weeks ago? Yes. ]

It would be handy if I knew what others have told you, but I assume it's in line with me being the great evil responsible for every sin of the world.
[he'll admit to the things he did and have no regrets but everything that came after isn't his damn fault, Dad and humanity just needed a good fall guy]
Michael is my older brother, an archangel like me. We were destined to fight each other.
We're... on tolerable terms at the moment, perhaps.
Castiel is one of our many younger siblings, just a footsoldier. He's an irritant and I hate him and I've killed him twice but he won't stay dead, although he only knows the first time.
[he avoids any indication that he does know]
Oh, great, so he's a demon now.
Unfortunately.
Seems like he's doing a World Tour of the Horizon, which begs the question of where's his body so someone can drive a holy-infused blade through him? I don't care if it doesn't kill him.
Jack disappeared. No longer connected to the Singularity.
[ Not kidnapped disappeared. The certain comes from Sabine.
He's mostly telling you because he thinks you and Istredd are two of the handful of people Jack interacted with on occasion - and between you both, you're not likely to express sympathy. He doesn't want any. ]

[Gabriel may have turned over a new leaf when it comes to standing up for himself, for others, for the greater good, and all that boring heroic nonsense, but that definitely doesn't mean he has to like it. It also doesn't mean he isn't still petty as hell about some things.
So he did consider just not contacting Lucifer at all, and simply waiting until they ran into each other somewhere. Seemed like a very appealing idea, honestly. But no, he's going to be an adult, and he's going to tell Lucifer's he's here before someone else happens to pass the info along.
And of course he's going to do so in the most obnoxiously casual way possible.]
Hey Luci, how's it going?

You know. Just chillin'. Catching some sun, enjoying beach life.

[HEY BRO]
So this guy on the network is pulling off a very audacious prank and I'm going to be simultaneously impressed and embarrassed, right? You're not actually dating someone here?

[hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggggggjmk]
If I knew you finding out from Nero was going to be an option I would've told you myself.
I didn't expect one punk ass idiot to give me this much of a headache.
Oh, it's music to my ears.
Aren't you being a bit dramatic?
For you? Oh, I suppose.
[translation: always]
[ He is so utterly confused. ]
What is smutty fanfic and what does that have to do with a faction war?
[ He's been talking to Jack. ]

[Istredd leaves a network note for Lucifer, not through their bond, I added something in my study. Istredd's personal study in his library is only accessible to Lucifer and Yennefer if he's not there. In it there is a giant canvas that seems to be a detailed painting of Dersti, until Lucifer is there and then it turns into an extremely detailed and beautiful illusion/painting of Lucifer's true form.
Written underneath is the title 'The Most Beautiful Thing I've Ever Seen.' If someone sees the snake they probably assume it's an inside joke. Only Lucifer will know otherwise.
He's also spelled a set of Lucifer's clothes to be much better for hunting in Nocwich with enchantments to keep from the blood soaking through and unable to be torn in a fight. There is an extra enchantment that makes him harder to see in the night too, if he feels like sneaking up on a beast. ]

[the package is non-descript, but it's definitely big enough to pique the curiosity of the recipient as to open it as soon as possible. it's been checked through, tied up back into its box after the fact. inside, an amount of homemade goods have been stacked atop each other: candles, soaps, and moisturizing lotions. this would already spell out who it is from, if a similar package has been received, in the past.
a neat box lies at the bottom, though, and once unwrapped, it'll reveal a stained glass contraption, meant to be put to the light to reflect its many colors. maybe something lucifer can get himself lost in, as the colors are reflected upon surfaces.
a small note sits under the box.]

Dearest Lucifer,
I hope that this Dimming gift will add a touch of luxury to thy napping at the back of my lectures.
Warmest wishes,
Urianger Augurelt
( Lucifer's package contains a cushion, but not just any cushion! One of the corners has an inconspicious gold tassel hanging from it. The attached note explains that the cushion is enchanted to shrink down to fit into one's pocket when the tassel is tugged, and will expand to its proper size when tugged again. Now Lucifer can be comfy wherever he feels like perching! Happy Dimming! )

Hey bro.
So what's exactly were you aiming for with the babysitting mission to the island? Any specifics?
[He's both genuinely curious and wants to hear if there's some sort of gossip.]

Check every nook and cranny.
The Trauma Crew there didn't do a thorough enough job.
I do NOT want any of that bullshit to blow back again. Bad enough that acolytes didn't get executed.
During Nocwich, you do not have to respond to this

My friend Triss is here, she was Summoned into Solvunn. She's the redhead she would have seen in my memories. I'm letting Yenna know. Apparently the Summoning spell truly likes my sphere. I'll be in Nocwich a little longer than planned so I can catch her up on everything.
