That's my girl.

[She stands up straight and removes her hands from her shoulders, but then offers Mirai one of her hands to take with her own.

...unless she's too old to hold hands with papa.]

Now how about we go back inside? I think you should get something to eat; the food at the feast is always free, and it's good— [A beat.] —or so I've been told.

[She really doesn't eat that often aside to keep up appearances.

Although she does drink a lot of tea now because of Berserker...]

[devilgirl]

[Mirai will never be too old to hold hands with papa! She takes her hand loosely, swinging it a little.]

If it's really good you should try it, Mama. You might like it, and you don't have to worry about putting on any weight.

[Although that is a silly mental image, it's definitely not one Lucifer would allow to come into reality.]

[individualist]

[you little shit...........

It's not like Lucifer minds though, obviously. If anything the comment just makes her laugh.]

No, of course not. I've got my figure just the way I like it right now anyway.

[Although this is meant more literally than people around them think........#shapeshifterlife

Innnnnnn any case, once they're back at the feast they can take a look at what's on offer more closely.

"Hot root soup with garlic-cheese bread to dip in stands next to steaming platters of crispy lemon trout, oat farls and baked gammon provide a litter of succulent rosemary-slathered dishes around roasted boar and venison. Vegetables are piled high in their dishes, taters come mashed with turnips, roasted in gravy and thick in the hen 'n' butternut squash pies. Call for a dessert and the servants might bring you a black-forest torte, pear 'n' peach tart or marzipan pudding oozing with almond-sugar custard."

All very rich, all very tempting (to everyone who isn't Lucifer anyway.) She finds two empty seats beside each other at a table for the pair of them.]

Do you see anything you really want?

[devilgirl]

Everything looks good.

[Maybe she'll need to learn shapeshifting next, after demon summoning.]

How expensive are all of these?

[Mirai has not yet learned the ways of jamjars.]

[individualist]

Oh, the feast for new arrivals is all on the monarchs. You don't have to pay for any of it, so take as much as you like.

[They're on their own once the feast is over, until the next one.

Or that is to say Berserker's gonna need to shell out for his new secondary master. The fact Lucifer costs next to nothing to keep around should make it a little easier at least.]

[devilgirl]

But after this I'm supposed to get a job?

[Or it'd be reasonable to expect her parent to support her, but then again: Lucifer.

She'll order a bunch of this food, since it's delicious-looking and free. And then she'll try to get Mama to have some.]

[individualist]

[Yeah, unfortunately the idea of "don't make kids do too much until they're old enough" doesn't register with Lucifer. She wouldn't mind supporting her like an actual parent should if that's what Mirai wants, but if she also wants to look into doing work she...would support her to do that too...

TOO MUCH EMPHASIS ON FREE WILL. TOO MUCH PRIDE IN DEVIL CHILD.]

That'll depend on if you find something you think you'd like to do, Mirai. You'll be living with me, and I don't really need to spend money on myself too often, so I'll be able to afford to take care of you until then. You don't have to worry about too much so long as Mama is by your side.

[devilgirl]

[She beat the local god in a fight once, she can totally have a job! Just, maybe a kid-sized job.]

I know I don't, but I want to be able to support myself and make you proud, Mama. Anyway, is there even school here? If there's not then I'd be really bored without a job.

[This is still just...really strange.

She's used to having people want to succeed in order to gain her favor, but it's usually for entirely different reasons. For her blessing, her support to change the world, even just the desire for subjects to please their King...but the very notion of the embodiment of chaos having a child who wants to make her proud for such a simple reason is. Well.

Lucifer's experienced a lot of strange things, she's a very strange thing herself, but it's hard to find words to actually describe this sometimes. The fact that her time separate from Mirai is much greater than the time she spends with her means it'll probably never be something she's used to entirely either.]

[individualist]

[Even so, she decided the strange feelings she gets from the whole parent thing aren't all that bad. If they were, she wouldn't have bothered putting time aside to see her in the first place.]

You've done so much already, you know. I could never stop being proud of you.

[Like really killing angels, helping Lucifer and protecting Makai separately are all things that win Lucifer's approval. She's done all three, so.]

Anyway, I'm not so sure about school...it's likely they want to encourage shardbearers to participate in the war, and native schools wouldn't accept you. [Literally and otherwise. Ain't throwing precious daughter into that kind of environment even if she is half-devil. Lucifer has to be wary of anti-shardbearer sentiment too, so.] We can think about it together later on. For now, you should just enjoy the rest of the festivities. It's only your first day after all!

[She punctuates that with a laugh, but she knows that drive is likely something she got from Lucifer so it isn't like she doesn't understand.]

[devilgirl]

[She's glad she has Mama's approval, but that doesn't mean she wants to sit on her butt for the rest of her life. She's still young, she has her whole life ahead of her!]

I guess I am getting ahead of myself. I should just eat first.

[Then they can talk about schools and jobs and all the strange things that come from being in a different world, again.

But for now- nom.]
