Isabela and Lucifer
WHO: Isabela and Lucifer
WHEN: 226412.04
WHERE: On a beach in Risa
SUMMARY: A reunion of beautiful people.
WARNINGS: Unlikely.

Risa was paradise. That may not have been the literal truth, but it certainly was figuratively true and there was no doubt that it beat his father's idea of heaven by a long shot. The devil was grateful he'd arrived back with the travelers of the Enterprise in time to arrive on this pleasure planet but he was going to have a hell of a time leaving it behind.

He was thinking about that when he spotted a very familiar face from his previous trip and he approached her grinning. "Isabela," he greeted her. They had flirted back and forth on multiple occasions, but had somehow stopped themselves from going any further than that. Probably because the ship was too small and he had grown tired of trying to avoid people on it, even if Isabela promised no-strings-attached fun.

Either way, he was pleased to see her now. "Good to see you again. Did you miss me?"

Risa was definitely a place where Isabela could make a permanent home. The only thing missing was her ship, but she supposed that could be rectified. Or she could just learn how to operate the metal ships here. But her time on this planet wasn't all happiness and indulgence. She was now trying to avoid feelings, and also avoid one Lara Croft until she could get a grip on herself again.

So, Isabela had been all about the drinking, rave parties, and sex. She was clad in a very scandalous bikini. For once, she didn't have the thick, solid gold neckpiece on, though her various piercings were readily apparent. While her ear, labret and tongue piercings were typically noticeable, her nipple piercings were not. But they were now, as was her navel piercing.

Hearing that familiar voice, Isabela perked up and turned a grin onto tall, dark and very handsome. "Lucifer! I had seen you'd returned on that notification thing. I definitely missed you. You know how to make great drinks and be a source of excellent flirting." She winked at him. "I hope that you are enjoying this lovely planet?"

"You mean paradise?" Lucifer asked. "Yes, I find it quite enjoyable." He cast an appreciative glance over Isabela's body and then turned his attention back to her face, only somewhat reluctantly. "And yourself?" he asked. "This seems like your sort of place as well?"

He was still overdressed for the beach, but had at least left behind his jacket. And it wasn't as though he hadn't spent a good amount of time wearing next to nothing thus far. "Did I see you at the bonfire?" he asked. He'd meant to seek more people out, but had ended up rather preoccupied all night.

"Thought you might," she grinned. Isabela would definitely say he was too overdressed for the beach. Though in all honesty, she'd say he was overdressed at any time when wearing clothes. But that was just her opinion. "Oh yes, I'm living it up here. I had no idea what a rave was, but now I have to say, it's one of my favorite things." At this point, Thedas just seemed so boring. Who needed dragons, qunari, darkspawn and so on and so forth when they could have all of this pleasure at their fingertips??

"No, I missed the bonfire. I may have passed out from too much alcohol." Which could have been the case, but Isabela was also pointedly avoiding most social events like that for fear of running into Lara. She was definitely avoiding any potential follow up conversation to the one they'd had revolving around that kiss. "Did I miss anything fun at the bonfire?"

"What fun is alcohol if you pass out too early?" Lucifer asked, raising a brow. "You'll miss out on everything."

Not that she missed out at the bonfire, that he knew. He'd been too busy talking to Daisy and Kate to really know if anything exciting had happened. "I'm afraid I've become rather boring, actually. I just had a couple of meaningful conversations and I'm staying away from meaningless sex. At least with travelers." Those rules did not apply to more permanent residents of Risa.

"In my defense, I'd been drinking for hours beforehand. Still trying to adjust to the strange alcohol here. But I do make it a point to attend a rave each day. Unless I pick someone up before hand and am enjoying myself with them." Isabela smirked.

Though at the mention of no meaningless sex with travelers, Isabela pouted. "Well that's no fun. Meaningless sex is the best way to go. No strings, no mess, just fun."

"Oh I agree completely. But most people can't keep it meaningless." Lucifer didn't add that perhaps he was becoming most people in that regard. "And then things get too complicated. And messy. Only if you're lucky do things work out where you can stay friends, like me and Hawke before she disappeared. But I thoroughly appreciate that you've been living it up fully while we're here."

"I'm not most people. I could make a living off of meaningless sex, but that would make me a prostitute, and I'm not that. I'm a whore, yes. Prostitute, no. I do it for fun. I prefer to steal my money and treasure as opposed to earning it." Though Isabela gave a little whimsical smile. "Oh Hawke, she's definitely good in bed. So there you go, that's someone we both have in common there!"

Lucifer considered Isabela for a moment, appreciating her blunt honesty. But he still wasn't content with even considering sleeping with her until he knew she wasn't going to turn around and demand more from him.

He gave her a cryptic smile and said, "Yes, Hawke. We've talked about our common interest there. So tell me, Isabela," he said, looking her straight in the eyes. "What is it that you truly desire?"

Isabela looked back at Lucifer, and she felt something come over her at the question and she couldn't help herself. "I want...I want Lara Croft." The admission came with a surprised, wide-eyed expression. "Why did I just say that?" She asked, mostly a rhetorical question. She gave a little shake of her head.

"Fascinating," Lucifer replied, grinning. "And you said that because I wanted to be certain you were certain about not wanting attachments. Which you are, with me at least. But tell me why you aren't with Lara now? You should go after what you desire."

Isabela pressed her lips together in a thin line. She didn't want to admit these things outloud but she felt she couldn't actually stop herself. "Because I'm a lying, thieving snake and she deserves someone who won't hurt her like I would. And I'm afraid of being loved."

Lucifer's expression softened, and he looked away from her and out to the ocean for a moment. "So it's not that you don't want attachments. You're scared of them."

Again, he paused. "Don't let fear keep you from what you desire."

"I always inevitably ruin things. Friendships or otherwise." Isabela sighed. "I should tell you how I caused a war and left my friends to deal with it while I ran away to save my own skin." It was self-deprecating, but also the truth. Isabela didn't think much of herself when it came to serious interpersonal relationships.

"I'm selfish at heart. I had intended to sleep with her and leave it at that. But hers is a heart that I cannot break. And believe me, I've broken many hearts in my life. Even those of ones I loved."

"Because you were scared?" Lucifer prompted. He was probably the least qualified person in the world to give relationship advice, but something about Isabela got to him. Maybe it was because they were truly alike in that matter and if there was no hope for her, there surely wouldn't be any for him.

Not that he knew what he wanted, with his life split between the Enterprise and home and now Risa more recently than not. But still, he wanted to believe that Isabela had a chance. He slipped his arm around her shoulders and pointed out, "That was an entire lifetime ago, really."

"Not precisely scared. I had to steal a relic and give it to someone else or he was going to kill me. Because I may have once taken a shipment of his only to discover he'd intended to sell many people, women and children included, into slavery. So I let them all go and now the guy wants me dead for ruining that. The only thing that would've saved my skin was the relic that I took which started the war." Isabela sighed again. She looked up at Lucifer after he put his arm around her shoulders.

"It happened shortly before I was brought aboard this ship. The war, I mean. I abandoned Hawke and Varric and the others to save myself. Lara deserves someone who would put her before them. I can't promise to do that."

"So you're judging your actions in black and white when really it's quite a shade of grey?" Lucifer asked. "That's the thing about you humans; you all torture yourselves so well. No, you can't change that you chose to save your own ass, lovely as it is, over dying. But you can choose to torture yourself over that decision for now until eternity, or you can face it and move on."

"Thank you for noticing my wonderful ass," she commented, at first only taking that out of what Lucifer said. Isabela let out a sigh. "And then what? I've made many shitty choices in my life, and I'm definitely not a good person. Certainly not good enough for Lara."

"Says who? So you fucked up a bit more than most people? What about it? Do you care about her? Are you willing to try? Or do you want to spend the rest of your life wondering if maybe you should have acted rather than just feeling sorry for yourself because you were convinced you didn't deserve a chance at happiness."

Lucifer wasn't one to mince words and he didn't hold back now.

Isabela appreciated the bluntness. She could be rather blunt herself at times, so she could take it. "I don't know how to have a relationship. I was married before. The best thing I can say about my husband is that he didn't beat me, but he treated me like a prized possession. Something to be shown but not touched. I know nothing of making others happy, only how to take pleasure where I can get it."

“So you would rather just long for something you believe you can’t have rather than taking a risk and going after what you desire. Boring!” Lucifer declared. “As your friend I believe I’ll have to meet this Lara Croft and have a discussion.”

"It's better than taking a risk and getting rejected. Or worse, getting what I want and then I go a mess it up because that's what I always inevitably do." She was desperately trying to keep a safe distance between her and Lara. "Wait, what? No. No you don't need to do that."

“Oh but I do,” Lucifer replied, smiling brightly at her. “This is what you desire most, and if I need to help you along, I’m more than happy to!”

His arm still draped around her, he guided her attention out to the water. “We’re in paradise. Take advantage of that before we have to leave!”

Isabela groaned. She didn't want or need people intervening for her. It just made her look weak. But she also wasn't going to go after Lara because she really believed she'd only screw it all up. Or that Lara wouldn't ever trust her to be loyal given her promiscuity.

"Believe me, I just want to sail into that horizon and not come back." Or drown. She'd take drowning right now. "Short of that, I'll just go to a rave and stay there until I drop."

"Well that's hardly the spirit," Lucifer chided before softening a bit. "Besides, what can be worse than trying to open up to somebody then getting kidnapped, your wings plastered back on you against your will and then having your devil face stolen? You're bound to do better than I did."

Isabela believed getting her heart broken was worse, but she didn't say it outloud. "Kidnapped? That's definitely all rather dramatic. But you're still standing, yes?" The whole devil thing was new to her. There was no lore like that in any religion from the world she was from. Just Blights that happened every so often that were potentially devastating.

"Exactly. So now that you have no excuses, let's set a deadline for you. As in, if you've not spoken to the object of your affection and confessed your desire to her by the time we're forced back upon that bloody ship, I intend to fulfill my end of the bargain and speak to her myself."

He was quite aware that they hadn't actually made such a deal yet, and he was watching her, awaiting her response.

"This is what happens when I don't have a bloody ship. I start to care and it's just horrible. I miss my carefree days of looting and stealing and not giving a damn." Isabela lamented. She looked up at Lucifer. "Fine, since you're so intent upon it." Though Isabela didn't think Lucifer talking to Lara would do any good, regardless of what answer he may get from her.

"Do you really though?" Lucifer asked. "Because you wouldn't have agreed if you didn't have hope of something better. Besides, if this all goes to hell I'll break my no shagging fellow travelers rule, just for you."

"Maker's breath, either do it or don't. Stop berating me with these questions!" Isabela wasn't actually mad, she was just tired of this subject. She wanted people to just leave her alone about it.

There was also the fact that Isabela seemingly wanted Lara more than a ship and that fact scared her to death. She'd betrayed Hawke for the promise of a ship. And yet she wanted Lara more than a ship. What kind of pirate was she if that was the case?

"Only if you don't," Lucifer reminded her. "Which you should."

But he was willing to let the subject drop for now, and instead of saying anything else, he reached into a pocket to retrieve a flask. He made sure to take a drink first, before handing it over. He figured Isabela could probably use a drink by now.

Isabela rolled her eyes. She didn't want to go anywhere near Lara right now, and she was convinced that even if Lucifer talked to her, that nothing would come of it. Sure, they'd shared a kiss, but that was undoubtedly as far as anything would go.

Taking the offered flask, she gratefully took a drink from it. Isabela definitely needed the drink, and she needed to get lost in the many pleasure of this planet before she was confined to the flying tin can that did wonders to set off her claustrophobia from time to time. She handed the flask back, not wanting to drink all of it. That would just be rude.

"Right. Well I best be off before I change my mind about my own rules. So, talk to Lara. Don't be scared. And if it all goes to hell, let me know."

He took another drink from the flask before capping it back up. "Actually I want to hear about it no matter how it goes. Deal?"

"I'll be certain to share, if there's anything to share." Isabela doubted that there'd be anything to share. And she'd rather get drunk and pick someone up to put a certain person out of her mind.

"I'll see you later, Lucifer." She gave him a smile.
