Ah, Lightning hadn't realized he has hit some sort of nerve. How is he going to explain properly... "As a tamer, you cannot be too lenient on your familiars. If you are, they can attack you or others. It mighta been just a couple of cuts, but it's on me to stop it before it becomes more. They're my friends but they're demons. Besides," he says, smiling a little more relaxed, "Sylphs are elementals. They're not very individualistic. It's like blowing out a candle - that light might be gone but fire still exists in the world. It's why they don't have death verses. Same for Naiads and Coal Tars."

"But they were your friends." The boy reiterates, unable to let that fact and their deaths go so easily. It's a dangerous mindset to have in their line of work too, especially as a Tamer, but the aspect of connecting with demons to have better working relationships with them just to kill them so heartlessly doesn't click for Dennis like it evidently does Lewin; The bleeding heart cannot imagine severing a connection so swiftly or that easily. "And, like, I don't mean to sound ungrateful cause the cuts were annoying--" and going to be annoying to heal as well "--but I wasn't like, being killed or anything."
