[detroit!AU: Summoning]
There's a triple circle on the floor of the room: standard Summoning, and two extra tracks. The one of holy oil is a matter of last resort.
Oddly enough, it's the true name part that's easiest this time.
Andrew speaks the last words of the Summoning, and rises to his feet.

And then it's gone, leaving behind a peaceful stillness that seems almost to cling to the figure in the middle of the circle.
He smiles.
"Hello, Andrew."
no subject
It isn't enough.
Fleetingly, as Lucifer smiles with Sam's mouth, Andrew feels an apology to Dean whisper through his mind and away.
"Hi."

"I was wondering if I could talk to Sam."
Andrew has no idea how he's managing to keep his voice steady, keep his knees from giving out.
He's in the presence of an angel, and he's starting to realize what that means.

"Well." His mouth's dry. "You did say you want him to be happy."

His fingertips are pressed tight into his palms; the nails would be digging through skin, leaving little bleeding parentheses, if they weren't bitten down to the quick.
"So how about it?"
no subject
"But I think you and I have a few things to talk about first, don't we?"
no subject
This time his voice does shake.
no subject
"There'll be time."
no subject
He waits. Knowing there's nothing he can do about it if Lucifer decides to keep him hanging indefinitely.
no subject
Lucifer's studying Andrew carefully.
no subject
A bit hoarse: "Anytime."
no subject
"Being glad to see someone isn't the same thing as wanting to talk to them, Andrew."
A beat.
"You don't want me to force him, do you?"
no subject
For a few seconds he can't speak.

"Then if he doesn't want to talk to me," he rasps, "let him at least tell me so to my face."
no subject
Lucifer smiles.
"Good."
no subject
"Why good."
no subject
He takes a step forward, examining the edge of the circle with apparent curiosity, and then begins to pace slowly around it.
no subject
"There's no Binding," he says; and while it's meant to sound like an expression of assurance, it comes out sounding hasty, conciliatory, just short of cringing.
no subject
He glances up at Andrew, even as he comes unerringly to a pause at the point of the circle that's closest to him.
"Why not?"
no subject
It's the truth, and he knows it now more completely than ever. It's all he can do to hold himself straight and look Lucifer in the borrowed face.
"I wanted to talk to Sam. That's all."
no subject
Lucifer looks directly into Andrew's eyes.
"What did you want to say to him?"
