Jules, you tell the stable boy, this may be the beginning of a beautiful friendship - here's your card.
Jules looks at it for a moment, dumbfounded. That's not a card, that's a bloody severed face, that's Lena's face oh goodness
No, you say, the contact information is on the other side! That's the important bit! NO APPRECIATION FOR CRAFTSMANSHIP
He blanches and looks at the other side of your card.
See! It's right there! You know, he says in a more conciliatory manner, he liked Lena, she was always nice to him - why'd you have to go and rip her face off?
You don't need to look very long for the answer - look, maybe he should have thought of that before selling out his entire circle of friends and colleagues to a rampaging demonic spymistress, huh? You can't be held responsible for what happens when you get into the mood. might steal your cutlery MIGHT RIP YOUR FACE OFF
Might even try diplomacy!Well okay, he guesses, he supposes he knows that feeling. He'll see how this works out and then maybe call on you later, if that's fine - that's fine, right?
You do declare that it's perfectly fine, and by the next day are on the way back.
Congratulations! Kalja has successfully murdered a cell of demon summoners!258 S.I., Late Spring

You come back to interesting news, which is that several young and, some would say, more fundamentalist factions of the Lunar Temple have experienced a rash of their leaders being found dead in the middle of scenes suggesting depraved sex acts occurring within their presence or with their participation. The patriarchal authority in the temple has ruled the cases to be "a tragically unlikely series of suicides".
Needless to say, the masses aren't particularly pleased, but at least the purge appears to have deprived them of the steady momentum they had going beforehand, and give you time to perhaps maneuver yourself into a better position TO RIP OUT THEIR THROATS

It's perfectly natural. within certain allowances AND DEFINITELY COMPLETELY SAFE

B) Trust in your demons, they've been solid allies thus far.
C) Seek a physician.
