"That's generous of you, dude," he says to Lucifer being willing to offer advice. It's surprising to him really, that there's not more animosity there...what with being another Lucifer and all.
But otherwise and although he doesn't say it, there's always a cost. Dylan is genuinely a good guy who will help people out because it's right, but there's probably nothing right about helping the devil so Dylan's cost is more subtle. Get on Lucifer's good side. Get an in with someone of his power. And find out the extent of that power -- if that power is strong enough to say, break a curse. Build up enough favors that breaking a curse won't seem like that big of a deal if he asks. It's really the only thing he truly wants in hell, and he's willing to go through hoops to get it. It's just also a bonus that this Lucifer is quite attractive and Dylan certainly wouldn't mind finding himself around him more.
A long con, and not without its risks. After all, Lucifer could disappear before Dylan even works up the courage to ask. But it's a risk he'll take. Especially because it's relatively low stakes. Chat people up. He was going to do that anyway. And then get to share what he learns with Lucifer? Dylan loves to gossip. It might almost be...fun.
"So if you don't plan on playing their game with their rules -- redemption to get out -- do you plan on finding another way out of this place? I mean, I don't know how long a hell without a Lucifer can sustain itself. You kinda gotta get back, don't you?"
