"MK seems better because of what he learned about himself. Wukong seems different for the same reason." Learning that MK was meant as a sacrifice and that he actually tried to do it and activated Wukong's circlet in the process has to be a lot. Macaque even forgave MK for that immediately... maybe he should have tried to talk that through first?
"I suppose I could ask them beforehand. At least that makes sure that they're in the right mindset for a real talk which could be hard. And if they're not, I'll know it sooner."
"...Lucifer, I truly appreciate you trying to help me and I value your input, but I want to make sure it's clear that I don't want you to be a therapist for me. I want us to lean on each other, not for me to do all the leaning and you do all the work. I realize that this is one conversation, that we're not in any danger of that, but I also know your role at the hotel and how things can become habit. I love you because you're you."
Lucifer knows really only MK and Wukong can define why they seem different. He is glad to hear Macaque is considering asking. To help with those subject and harder talks. His smile is soft when Macaque checks in on being his therapist.
"Fair enough. I'll do my best to remember it. I love you because you're you too, you know. And I know if the situation was reversed, you'd be trying to help me work my way through things. For right now then, since I think you have plenty to think about, do you want to just cuddle? Maybe kiss and stay close? See if a nap is in our future together?"
Lucifer holds Macaque and gives his ears a kiss. Then kisses his cheek and just pets him. He lets himself relax with his mate. Just holding him close and being here. Letting Macaque just be with him and being here with him.

He nuzzles his way into Lucifer's neck and just relaxes and breathes.
