[ Ah. This time, the sensation working its way through his chest is newer. He felt it all over yesterday, particularly through the trial, so he recognizes it as easily the discomfort. And just like before he has no idea how to process the feeling. After all, shame is something he's never had to cope with quite this intimately. Though he's done much for the skies, including committing acts that some would find horrifying, he never had to look in the eyes of the people he'd wronged.
... Ah. No, he supposes he did once, didn't he? But shame was only a small fraction of what he felt at the time.
Still, he chooses not to look away. Not this time. ]
I never imagined anyone would feel that way, much less express it. [ His expression softens here. He may not know how to come to grips with his shame, but he does know that he's honored to hear Tenn's words. ] Mortals truly are wonderful. Your capacity for understanding, for forgiveness, and for love...
They're not something most primal beasts are capable of.
[ Tenn can't help but give him a small smile, at that. He isn't happy that this was the solution Lucifer chose, but again, he gets it, and, well. There are worse ways that Lucifer could have killed Yor and Wuxian (but let's not talk about Riku's case). He doesn't have to like what Lucifer did in order to give him a proper, kind sendoff, and the expression on Lucifer's face makes it worth it.
He's glad that Lucifer can leave this horrible game knowing that at least one person isn't furious with him. ]
We're strange, in that sense. Complicated and layered. I'm sure this game would be far simpler if we were more like those primal beasts you're talking about.
[ He shakes his head, though. ]
I can't say that everyone will feel the same way that I do about this, though. Even so, it would be nice to get to know the Lucifer I was so curious about before you leave.
