The kitchen lies in a pool of muted light, the air heavy with the fragrance of bergamot and steeped leaves. Lucifer stands at the counter, his movements a study in controlled grace as he pours boiling water into a porcelain cup. He has been aware of the presence in the doorway for some time now — the slight shift in the shadows, the held breath. He allows a faint, knowing smirk to touch his lips as he pretends absorption in his task, beginning to hum a low, melancholic melody just loud enough to be heard. The silent game is its own reward; he savors the tension, waiting to see how long the observer will linger, believing themselves unseen.
