It's a little strange for just a second, hearing that formal shift in his lover's voice while sprawled over him mostly-naked in bed. Is this like getting orders? Should he be acting like an angel? There's a moment of deer-in-headlights confusion before Balthazar shakes it off. No, of course not. This is his partner, who calls him his king and his equal. Bringing things up in private like this is fine, no matter whether it's a vital task or not.
It takes him a second to register what Lucifer means about celestial angels wanting to talk with him. And then his eyes widen and he sits up a little, slipping his hands into Lucifer's. "Oh? Oh! That's...that's remarkable, isn't it?"
The look of delight dawning on his face is probably rewarding. "You want me to adopt the defectors? Will they be living in the Nexus? I would think that might be safer to start with."
It's clear he's latched onto the idea already, the way his Grace flares and dances. Because whatever happens from here on with the Host and Lucifer, anyone Balthazar can teach and keep safe charge of is one less sibling to fight. It's a simple, peaceful, elegant solution, and Lucifer's right. Balthazar is absolutely the best person to take celestial refugees in hand. "Yes. Of course yes! You know you didn't even have to ask, it's more like a gift than a task."
