The king looks down at the other man sobbing at his feet. The radio demon, always so stubbornly cheerful, so strong, his radio demon. Lucifer kneels and places a firm hand on Alastors shoulder. 

"Al..." he speaks softly, not wanting to startle him. 

However seeing that Alastor was in some kind of trance he spoke in a firmer voice, "Alastor." 

He places a gentle hand under his chin and leads his eyes to meet his, "look at me Al... I-its alright, I forgive you." His voice is full of kindness but his eyes hold a sort of weariness, a tired look of having lived too long and seen too much. 

He meets Alastor's eyes and his gaze softens, "It's okay, we'll be alright." 

Then he adds in a more hesitant tone, "is it okay if I hug you?" He didn't want to cause him any discomfort and since Alastor seemed to be incapable of speech he waited patiently for a nod or shake of his head.
