“I believe many people say no to what they  need when they deny they even need it. I promise you though, I have had enough for the time being. I am not a big fan of gorging, but I know when I need and how much I need. You have nothing to worry about, but I wonder what it is you need, what it is you wish for.” Even though she had eaten, and was quite fine, most demons when talking about food got this tone of voice. It was an almost inhuman delight and desire. And what the female demon had said to the young earl was true, she didn’t believe in gorging. She believed gorging on several meals, almost constantly was more… gluttonous than what was needed. It was almost unrefined, and showed no character- she ate what she ‘needed’ and that was all. She didn’t fancy herself better than those demons, just more sane. She was never driven to madness by an insatiable hunger, she didn’t stick to contracts because she felt then she would be driven to madness with hunger, if not boredom if she wasn’t careful. She stuck to stealing poor, unfortunate souls, right from under the reapers just to make things more interesting, of course.

Demons were puissant, dominant, mighty and severe.
They could control almost everything this world has
ever had. Ancient and sapient, they possessed the
power which could destroy this planet completely
irrevocably and unconditionally, but instead of such
bloodcurdling act they chose not to erase, but to fill
this world with their darkness. They were the ones,
who had the authority, the ones who could bring the
strongest of the kings to their knees. And loved doing
it… they loved and they relished the woe they spawned
among the mortals.

But where demons sought for such great powers?
When they were wounded, when their energy leaked
right through their cuts — how… how they managed
to survive? Obviously their hunger didn’t come out of
nowhere. And surely even the strongest of demons
couldn’t exist without enrichment. Their essences
were vampiric and demanded for the new sources of
pure energy. Human emotions, human feelings, human
souls… what can be more delicious than that?

When Sebastian got that serious damage back at
Campania, Ciel experienced dismay. His demon,
his only trusted knight and weapon was pierced
with the reaper’s scythe and instantly weakened.
It took a certain period of time for Sebastian to
recover, yet… Ciel didn’t think it had no effect on
his demon’s hunger. The hunger comes with the
need of replenishment of the energy. And this
slightly reminds of structures and functions
of the human organism, notwithstanding how
demons themselves perceive this fact.

❝ —  I had never seen a starving human or animal
        who refused from food and herewith stayed alive. ❞

The boy said deliberately and absolutely calmly,
staring back at the demoness. He fought his calamities
alone, no matter who tried to stay by his side. He had
so many pawns, the living tools which he used in his
so-called game. Do you really think a person of weak
spirit could carry on like this? It was a wicked type of
madness, but he already wasn’t sane. No matter who
or where would try to humiliate him — he will die fighting,
but NEVER fall down on his knees like a victim.

❝ You, demons, may be able to procrastinate your
  needs as much as you like. But your needs remain
  needs. Perhaps not as urgent as human’s, yet
  they are needs, anyway. ❞

As the diabolic female continued to talk, Ciel showed
a pretty dull countenance. There were no need in
such meticulous expatiation, for he wasn’t that silly.
He perfectly comprehended the things and moreover
he implied them in his previous statement.

❝ It’s exactly what I meant. People change, things change,
  but the truth stays the same. Do you really think I’m so
  dumb just because I’m a human? How absurd. ❞

He apparently revealed antipathy towards her amusement.
Her delight about him taking a single step back was filthy.
All what she wanted was a show — what a plain desire,  
what a truly obnoxious and a human desire…

❝As I see, everyone loves
buying tickets in the first row…

        Is this why  you reinsure yourself by telling me?
           'Cause you could just watch this all
           in a distance without saying a word… ❞
