Lucifer was in a word, embarrassed but he didn't let it show. He cared deeply for his little brother, he was truly concerned about Ryder but the two of them always had some kind of wall between them and he blamed himself for it. But Ryder had, being himself gone right and put the situation right on the table in a more negative tone than necessary. As for Izual, well Lucifer already knew that the guy could scare people without really meaning to and try as he might to get the man to light up all he'd get was a lecture on how the head of family ought to act.

He looked to the nearest camera on the wall, they covered the entire property and knowing Izual for every camera you could see there were nine more you couldn't even find if you tried. He addressed Izual through the camera, "Hey Jii-san, could you check where Koti is and get her down here if she's not overly busy? Besides, you know i don't like being called Master Lucifer, lighten up a little."

With that he turned to address Ryder," Come on bro, she just got here no need to try to scare her, at least try to act nice to her- as a favor for me?" He didn't even bother trying to disguise the open appeal to his brother at the end.

Finally he turned to Asami and Annie, "Sorry to waste a bit more of your time, but would you mind sticking around for a little bit more so we can introduce our baby sister? Then you'll have met all of us, I'm sure the rest of the staff will gladly greet you at their own pace." He continued, "As for the big guy, he may big strict but deep down he's a nice guy and all around incredible, you wouldn't believe the stuff the guy can do."

Lastly he addressed Skarny,"Since you'll be helping Asami with her uniform before dinner, is it all right if we reign check until after dinner?" He didn't even wait for her to reply, if Skarny showed up good and if not she was grown enough to make her own decisions, though he really would like her expertise for what he had planned.

Realizing he forgot something he turned back to Annie and Asami,"Oh yes i forgot...Annie, after Skarny and i finish our discussion could you and Asami report to my study? I'd like a word with the two of you, and I'm sure that Asami has questions for you and myself as well."
