But yeah, he has no idea why Lucifer decided that Daniel Jackson is a figure worthy of his interest. Though he supposes that he's made himself something of an anomaly at this point, and now his existence on a higher plane has just increased Lucifer's intrigue. Which is just great, and wonderful, and exactly what he needs on top of it.

At least Gabe's warded the place. It won't keep Lucifer from popping up anywhere else to chat, Daniel knows from experience, but it's something. He can't exactly go to war with the Devil over it. For one, he'd probably lose.
