[it's good, really, that they're without the bond currently working. why? because Lucifer's mind is 1) a chaotic, mind-splitting mess 2) a constant repetition of I hate you.
it's hours until Istredd gets a response. he's usually responded even if he's been actively working. this long stretch is out of sheer, complete, frustration with everything.
some nobody probably died for it.
it's fine. they didn't have information, anyway. he's certain.]
