[ Lucifer doesn't exactly notice the new Sinner and his attempts to win Alastor over. What he notices is that there's less Alastor around in general. He can have a conversation with Charlie without the demon popping up to shove how vital and necessary to Charlie he is into Lucifer's face. He can get breakfast and not hear a snide comment about some perfectly normal thing he's doing, like eating scrambled eggs. He doesn't find himself snarling up at someone five times a day. And that is downright weird.
Eventually, he notices the reason why. And it's annoying, okay? Sure, Alastor's obnoxious, but this whole half-hearted arguing thing? Not worth the time of day. Lucifer'd rather the demon just skip them entirely instead of give a lackluster performance. So yeah, he's ticked off. Especially when it's obvious Alastor's playing... some kind of game with the new sinner. There's no way Lucifer actually believes Alastor's got the wool pulled over his eyes the way it seems.
Right?
Right, no way. So Lucifer should just ignore the whole thing. Put an end to the half-assed sniping and move on. Alastor obviously has; honestly, Lucifer doesn't know why he's still keeping up the pretense when he's found something more interesting.
More interesting. Ha! More interesting than the king of Hell. Whatever, Lucifer said from the start he had bad taste.
So Alastor's going out to see Mimzy. Lucifer's going out, too — heading in the opposite direction of the dive where Mimzy performs. No need for him to see whatever mess Alastor's planning. Alastor's not the only one allowed to go for a stroll around Hell, and Lucifer is damn well going to enjoy his night free of the demon.
Which is why it's genuine surprise on Lucifer's face when he steps through a door and sees— of course. Of course it's Alastor. Why wouldn't it be? ]

You have got to be kidding me.
