"Join the club," Lucifer says. "Do you think that Gabriel and I are any more suited to it?"
Bitch, bitch, bitch, Daniel.
"You're in a better position now than you ever were as a human to find a way past the Rift and out of this universe. What can you hope to do as a man that would even remotely get you towards that goal? Learn to play the long game, Daniel Jackson."
A little discomfort doesn't supercede the advantages of the form he's in. And, since Gabriel seems to have exactly zero interest in finding a way past the Rift, having another being around that's willing to pull his own weight wouldn't be a bad thing. Sure, Lucifer might have liked to see Daniel descend, simply out of personal interest, but he's more valuable Ascended than not.
