I'll have you know, the man I consumed would have felt nothing; he had no spiritual awareness. I'll make no excuses for our Lion, though, at least until I get a chance to... get to know it better."

His eyes slide over to the demon, sidelong, and, noting its smile, he responds in kind, utterly unafraid, which must surely confound the fiend.
