A single brow goes up at the vampire's comment. "If your mind survived. I have no desire to be responsible for your foolishness." He was more serious than he had been. "You do not have the control for it given to you, if I am to judge by the way you continue to angle for what you want without restraint. Perhaps, some other time."
Though polite and neutral, there is a definite 'no' being issued to the request for the time being. Lucifer's tone is enough to stop Beelzebub's laughter, and his drinking pauses briefly.
However, as the subject turns to other things, any sternness that might have been perceived fades. "I think that is part of a long life that fills with memories."
Lucifer himself had a few keepsakes, nothing to fill an entire shop, but anyone removing them would find more than the harsh talking to he imagines from Aziraphale. "It appears to be a trend in the Nexus among our kind. It gives reason and stability to enter uncharted territory."
Lucifer's gaze leaves Toby, briefly considering the angel beside him. A look that is pointedly ignored by Beelzebub who is pouring another glass of brandy from his pitcher. If Lucifer was going to start anything along that line of discussion, he was going to need a lot more to drink. Finally, the talk of authors brings a hint of genuine smile to the king. "I have books with similar meaning in my collection, given to me by John Milton when I had occasion to visit him, and music books penned by Beethoven. I can understand the connection to literature."
