[Lucifer catches Wilhelm on his way back to his room after dinner. By now, he's used to the archangel suddenly appearing to thrust some practical gift into his hand. A knife, a magic charm.]
Thanks. [He studies the brooch, turning it over to trace the familiar runes, before affixing it to his tunic. It would look better on a jacket, or clasping a cloak shut, but it's summer, so...this will have to do.] Oh, yeah—
[Diving into his pocket, he fishes out the crystal turtle that Lucifer had given him last summer to mark the successful completion of his first year in this world. Successful, as in he didn't bite the dust. Whenever he's struggling, Wilhelm prompts himself, just remember what it was like two years ago. He imagines his sixteen-year-old self meeting his current self, and then the difference feels enormous.]
[He salutes Wilhelm with the turtle as he's turning and walking off again, a bit grateful that Wilhelm did give it over because it's about to be the only shield Lucifer has to his name. He doesn't appear to be hanging around to chat, on his way just as soon as he showed up.
[Sending a lazy wave down the hall after him, he continues on his way.
Later that night, when he's startled from sleep by a guard beating his fist on the door, and the castle has erupted into chaos, he will wonder if Lucifer somehow knew what was coming.]
