"We're going to have to work on terminology," he murmurs thoughtfully. His Lucifer. Well...that's probably a more apt designation for the one he's sleeping with than the one from his world that never gave him the time of day, but it feels weird.
"I don't follow your court protocols or hierarchy," he says gently but firmly. "And I don't intend to, except inasmuch as he needs me to, to keep things from going off the rails. And this is my living space as well as his."
He'll talk this over with Lucifer when he's awake again. No point in stressing Azazael out, but Balthazar isn't sure he likes the assumption that because his place is Lucifer's as well, his close confidantes can come and go as they please without at least checking with Balthazar.
They've all got a bit to learn, really. It's weird, but Balthazar can be as patient as he needs to be. "He's got a few significant wounds," he says, "but he seems to be healing some already, slowly but surely. I've done what I can."
"Come to the kitchen, won't you? I'll make cocoa, we can talk there."
