It is indeed a demon thing. And at least the parts of the net Sebastian has worked on hold together beautifully - Sebastian is stupidly strong, after all, and of course he's excellent at making nets.
He shakes his head.
"I loathe every moment I am apart from the young master. But speaking to humans about human matters... I have been doing that for well over three years by now. Of course much of it is tedious and insipid, but humans, when you truly, desperately want something... you will act in interesting ways."
Lesser beings as they might be (he doesn't verbalise)...
This comes as little surprise to Trevor, who would have been educated on creatures that preyed on humans and thought themselves superior. He's not exactly a cheerleader for humanity above all else, anyway; he just works to eliminate threats where he finds them, superior or not.
He snorts, and sets to working on repairing the tears he himself made.
As they have moved on from the Very Important subject of aesthetics, Sebastian joins Trevor once again with the repairs, working quickly and efficiently as always.
"Yes, well." Sebastian isn't allowed to lie; he can't deny the accuracy of that statement.
"Supposedly that is what I need to rectify in order to graduate - viewing humans as entertaining prey."
But how on Earth is he supposed to manage that, when he is superior to humans?
For... completely logical and self-evident reasons! Obviously.
"I cannot imagine myself as human - that would be antithetical to my very existence. 'I' was human in the last Breach, and that person had nothing to do with who I truly am."
Aside from the fact that 'he' was completely lacking in empathy, had no problem with consuming humans, and obsessed over his food, but you know.
"The question is moot, thus I humbly request we end this line of conversation."
But as it happens, Hakkai has given Sebastian homework to think of possible ways he might grow to consider non-violence a more aesthetic way of living... Despite his words, he'll be stewing over this quite a bit.

He swears when he pricks his finger, but continues on;
