( though she says it without feeling, not offended nor glad, almost expecting that to have been true. why would lucifer want to talk about the witch that could ruin him?
she pauses in thought for a moment before picking her glass back up and leaning back more comfortably again. if she's going to tell this story she wants all of the comfort )
I became involved with Lucifer... foolishly and unintentionally. Despite being trapped in his Cage he still had ways of getting to people. The boys needed his help with Amara, he knew it, they'd sought my help in getting into his cage without opening it and... he offered me something tempting.
( as he did. there are always details left out, she's cliffnotesing the story but it's all truthful so far. it wouldn't serve her now when she needs protection if she doesn't admit how it happened, and rowena knows that she was blinded a little by the power that lucifer offered her then. she'd seen that when he'd betrayed her )
I opened his cage and that is when he killed me first, expecting the knowledge of how to return him to it to die with me. ( since she'd admitted that she was the only witch who could do so, trying to continually prove her usefulness with a boast of how powerful she was when only that statement had damned her ) That wasn't my true death, I healed from it and... sought to stay very far away from him now he was free. Except my son and the boys wanted him back in the Cage.
( she leaves out more details now, jumping very far in the story )
When Lucifer killed me the second time it was in anticipation of just that. And though he tried to ensure I stayed dead this time... ( she shrugs slightly. didn't stick, lucille. the memories and nightmares may have but not her death )
Whilst I would love to send him back to the Cage I'd rather he was dead, though I'm not looking to try doing that. ( especially not at her full power. she's working on strengthening herself again but she also fears lucifer too much to actually act against him ) Not that he cares. The knowledge I have is enough for him.
