He did lie and use you, as he has lied and used others, and you have every right to your feelings about him or toward him.
I am concerned for you completely unrelated to Lucifer. Thorne is looking for scapegoats and ways to use us against one another. No one deserves to become one of their pawns. You have no reason to trust me, but I hope there is someone here in Thorne you can trust to ask for help if you need it.
[Somehow, being so calmly told that his feelings are valid is just as annoying as being told that he's overreacting. (At least, he imagines Istredd calm. His words seem to march out as neutrally as well-trained soldiers.)]
I have plenty of other people I can trust.
[If, like, two is plenty.]
Just
Leave me alone. You can tell Lucifer he'll have to find some other way to keep tabs on me.
[ Istredd's constant calm can be extremely irritating to people who know him in person too, so it's a reasonable reaction.]
He only sent me because he was certain you would ignore him and he is now under house arrest. If you are in an emergency situation, reach out to Stephen Strange, he is high in influence and probably the person best suited to step in.
I will leave you to the people you trust from here, but I am available if you change your mind.
[ He doesn't want to chase the boy and make him feel hunted by either of them, so this seems the smartest choice. ]
