Ava, you probably shouldn't grab just any bottle from the bar. Last time I took some alcohol from the club, it was laced with aphro.
[ And yet she takes the offered bottle from her friend, taking a generous sip from it. If things start to feel a little warm and fuzzy, she'll let Ava know. Bela holds the bottle out to her. ]
Not at all. Because the only thing I think I did was snoop around Lucifer's home. I didn't steal, but that bastard deemed it fit to send his demons after me anyway.
[ Bela sucks in a breath, not wanting to cry again. ]
Well, damn. [ Ava really ought to be more careful. ]
We're in for a wild night. [ She jokes with a snort as she takes back the bottle, hoping the alcohol isn't laced with aphro because with no disrespect to Bela, it'd be kinda weird hooking up with someone she's called a sister, and she's sure Bela would feel the same way. ]
I should have done the snooping, not you or Tech. I can literally walk through walls. I could have found something and gotten away with it but instead you both got hurt... [ She feels guilty, like she should have been brave enough to do what they did. She has these unique powers others she could use to help, but what good is she using them for? She needs to do better. ]
[ Yeah, it would be really weird. Bela didn't think of Ava like that at all, beautiful and lovely as she is. ]
But what if you didn't get away with it? You don't know what eyes or ears Lucifer has in his mansion - if he has any spies. [ Other sinners maybe? Bela doesn't know for sure. ] Ava, please don't do anything reckless, even if you think you are helping. I would hate it if you got hurt like I did.
[ Tech probably handled it better and maybe he's healed by now. He is a god after all. ]
So I shouldn't kick Lucifer's ass? I bet I could...
[ Even if she failed, her abilities would help her heal quickly, but the thought of potentially being in a lot of pain scares her off that idea. Not to mention, Tech would hate it too if she got hurt, especially if it was from an act of vengeance. She's learning that being less selfish means staying safe to keep loved ones happy. ]
I guess revenge isn't the answer. [ She sighs, only to frown when Bela pins the blame on herself. He reaches out to squeeze her friend's hand. ] Hey, you made one slight error of judgment, but that doesn't mean you deserved what you got. He shouldn't have let any of us near his mansion if he didn't want us to explore it. Fuck him for teaching you a lesson that was his own damn fault. [ She'll happily defend Bela and Tech's actions, even if they were technically in the wrong. ]
[ Or at least take a good shot at him. Bela doesn't know the full extent of Lucifer's abilities and if he was even capable of being harmed. She's already had to make sure that Peter didn't try to seek vengeance on her behalf, hoping that she managed to convince him otherwise. No one should be harmed on account of her. ]
It was Lucifer's fault for putting the temptation in front of me. I'm a thief, Ava. Of course I was going to have a look around and see what Lucifer had in his mansion. It was also my first time there so I was curious.
[ Bela squeezes her hand in return. ]
But it means a lot knowing that you care. I'm so lucky to have people like you and others in this place.
[ She's glad Bela agrees with her that it's Lucifer's fault. ]
I'm lucky to have you too. [ She felt so lonely back home, but here she doesn't. It's a shitty situation they're in, but at least— ] We're in this together.

I only have myself to blame.
