I believe I remember him. Tall, very thin, with red hair? [Lucifer smiles, a little bitterly, and there isn't much humor in this joke.] Perhaps there's something with redheads...
I did much the same, you know. I made a deal with the Crimson King. That I would be his servant if he would keep Michael safe. It was a lie, the first I've ever told, and one that I perpetuated. I thought if I could get close enough to him, I could kill him, but I never got the opportunity. The firestorm came, and though there were hints of his presence, it was as if his attention was turned elsewhere, barely even there.
I made many mistakes with Michael, both in my father's universe and here. I had hoped to rectify them, but I never got the chance, and the path he wished me to walk was one that I would not take. I made my choices, even the less than savory ones, and I would not change them even if I could. But I still feel as if I'm betraying him. Perhaps I always shall.
[He's quiet for a moment, then slants a look at Roxas.]
He's back though, is he not? Your friend Axel? I've been less than attentive to the current events of the city, but I thought I saw him. Is he different than the last? Is he the person you remember?
