Lucifer frowned at first, trying to bring back to mind which one Kellirek may have been. With all the senior demons, he could usually visualize their common names, used for reference in the Demotic Script, the energy signatures behind the names, the possibility to contain the energy with the name and rule it completely. But this demon might?have been below his radar in the past. Picturing his energy, or what he looked like when?assuming an active?form was beyond the arch angel. Until he considered the possible meaning of the demon's name, and nodded his understanding. "Ah yes, the ruler of destruction, a hereditary title. I remember his far removed ancestors, they were inhabiting the skies of my hell when I first landed there, such fabulous predators they have been even before they became true demons...I will keep?Kellirek in mind, thank you, daughter," Lucifer smirked his famous infuriating smile and was gone back to the infernal regions.

He could not even decide which matter to attend first, the witches, the discomfortingly recovered Book of the Damned that with its energy drainage problem, may have had something to do with his recent memory problem.?He used to remember every single demon he had made, and those recruited, all about them, their abilities, alliances, and possible interactions in the immediate future. And now, now he almost felt like constructing a smaller demon to help him arrange his memory better. He would have done so a long time ago, if only he could ensure?sufficient loyalty in such a creature. Perhaps when he had more time he could address this issue better,?but now was not the time, as well he knew. At least some of his troubles might, hopefully begin to be taken care of with his authority delegated to lower echelons.

The angel of war grimly regarded his partner when Lucifer left at last. "I am still not convinced if we ended up better or worse than before, but it might be good to have things in the open. And yes, I am very ready to meet Cordelia. You see, it just occurred to me that I had only a few ideas on how to find the rider of Pestilence and his ring. I was thinking to involve human hunters, or, to be brutally honest, follow a blood trail of human bodies?the rider would leave behind, but perhaps Cordelia could offer us a different option, if her psychic powers are not too overtaxed at seeking out such a powerful entity..." the angel added?after some?hesitation. ?
