[Lucifer was here, out of concern for Gabriel. But he won't admit that even to himself, and his response is mocking and cold.]
Gabriel, why would I think of you? Where were you when I needed you? Where were you when Michael brainwashed our brothers and sisters? The first chance you got, you abandoned them. And now that you are willing to fight for something, you expect me to roll over or applaud you.
You don't deserve this, because you never earned it.
[He falls very quiet then, because too much has been laid on the table and Lucifer didn't mean for any of this to come up here. He came, truly, to be there for Gabriel, not to make it worse. But this is Lucifer; he's no longer capable of comforting another creature. He's only now starting to realize the truth of that.]
