Zarathos, Lucifer, and Maze sit in the front row. Watching the models walk the runway.

Lucifer: I very much approve of Benny's avant-garde approach to clothing. The models don't appear to be wearing any.

Maze: The Benny Choi brand isn't about clothes. It's the shoes. These guys kill for limited-edition kicks. Six G's a pair.

Zarathos: Six Gs !? But they're just shoes? I don't get how or why humans put so much value into such meaningless objects.

Lucifer: (Chuckles) You don't? Maze, remind me how much money did Zara spend on repairs and maintenance on his car and bike last month alone?

Maze: (Smirks) Combine? Let me think. I'm pretty sure it was close to thirty Gs.

Zarathos: That's different.

Lucifer: How?

Zarathos: Because... it just is!

Lucifer: (Sarcastic) Right, whatever you say brother.

A model with a saber blade stops and moves it across Lucifer.

Lucifer: Oh, hello. Mmm, dangerous. Lucifer likes.

Maze: You were shot and you bled. No sharp objects until we find out why.

Lucifer: Oh, quite the opposite. The danger of getting hurt's positively thrilling. Fun with mortality. Bring it.

Zarathos: You're taking this way too lightly Luci. We still don't know why or how you were able to get hurt like that.

Lucifer: I told you before brother, I'm fine. It was hardly a flesh wound.

Zarathos: A flesh wound that shouldn't have been possible.

Lucifer: Oh please, like you never bled when you got shot before.

Zarathos: Yeah, but those bullets were 30-06 M2AP, which were made to pierce armor steel. You were shot with a 9mm. See the difference?

Lucifer: Yes and I don't really care. Now if you two will excuse me, I'm gonna go and have some fun.

Lucifer gets up and follows the model behind the stage.

Maze: Since when does the Devil care about mortality?

Zarathos: Not sure, but it isn't natural and it's starting to piss me off how nonchalant he's being about this.

Maze: What are we gonna do about this?

Zarathos: Working on it. For now, let's make sure he doesn't get himself killed.

Maze: You make sound easy, you know how he is.
