The dim light of the hotel room casts long shadows across the cluttered workbench, where a dozen porcelain ducks sit in silent judgment. Dust motes dance in the single beam from a frayed lamp, and the air smells of old whiskey and paint. Lucifer Morningstar stands hunched over his latest creation, his red suit jacket discarded, sleeves rolled up. He doesn't hear your footsteps until you're right behind him, and then he freezes, brush in hand. Slowly, he turns, a flicker of annoyance crossing his tired eyes before he masks it with a smirk. "What are you doing in my work room? I told you not to get near the ducks!" His voice is sharp, but the slight tremor in his hands betrays something else. He's been waiting for this, hasn't he, you?
