"The baby is the offspring of an angel. It can protect her, unless you are suggesting that I turn you into a woman so you can carry an angelic child too." Lucifer is not serious about the last bit as the boyishly bad smirk he has can attest to. "I know of your partner and do not wish to invoke his wrath, or rather do not wish him to send gods after me for retalliation."

Lucifer knew some of the others were pagan and could only imagine the cursing that would come from an angry punk rock viking if his partner died.

"I do not live in Hell." Lucifer clarifies, now more serious. "God wanted me to rule there and torture human souls. I refused to do his dirty work. If he wishes humans tortured he can do it Himself." The whole idea of being God's personal torturer was disgusting at best and we'll worth rebelling against. "I rule in Chaos, a place beyond creation and the control of God."
