[A short laugh follows, more of a bark than anything. Bitter and displeased, without any hint of joy.]
If he's anything like the devil of the bible, working through other people should be one of his specialties. [What's there to be joyful about with this?] The Lord's prayer is about being delivered from temptation, from evil, from the evil one. You can argue personal accountability against the devil made me do it all day long, no doubt, but for him to not at least take advantage of that seems...unlikely.
[And so Will doesn't profile Lucifer, exactly. He just works with the information he has from another source. They're totally not the same at all and he doesn't want to get closer to this one, Goddamnit.]
[Religion was never a priority for Edgeworth, so his knowledge of the Devil is weak, watered down, and not entirely accurate. Hearing it laid out like this, though, makes his questions feel rather...silly. Obvious. The sort of thing he should have realized on his own.
He ignores his embarrassment, though, and clears his throat. He had a theory. Graham confirmed this theory. That's good, right? Right]
So, he's not the only one we should be keeping an eye on. Thank you for the insight, Graham.
[And if he has nothing else to add, Edgeworth will be hanging up soon]
[Yo, Will talked about God and religion with Hannibal frequently enough that even if he hadn't been raised in the Bible Belt, he'd have been an idiot not to do some outside reading on the subject. And all those killers who added religious aspects to their victims...not something he could avoid in a line of work that could feel like there was no real Good. Anywhere. Just a bunch of folks pretending they were the biggest, worst Evil around.]
You're welcome.
[Nothing to add. Open to questions, but profiling Lucifer is not really on a list of things Will wants to do. Sorry bud.]
