[ He shakes his head, though his expression does tilt towards one that's thoughtful in a different way. It's lighter, in a sense, but mostly because it's an excellent question that he doesn't completely know the answer to. ]

You know, that is an excellent question. I do not know if we have a name that we picked for ourselves, to be honest. Our realm was so closely tied to humanity that we simply used the names they granted us, of which there have been many.

[ Sebastian pauses for a moment, since generally, that's as much as he would be inclined to say. Knowledge of his realm was considered forbidden for a reason, though it largely amounted to the politics of demons. Say the wrong thing to the wrong human, and a detail ends up in a grimoire that can then be used in a few centuries to overturn a dukedom. Things like that. But as it's hardly a concern anymore, he ends up continuing. ]

...It may seem a bit odd, but in truth, we did not keep track of our history hardly at all. It was a bit of hypocritical arrogance on our part, certainly, but if you are a people who do not forget, then there is no reason for it to be recorded. So though humanity had forgotten some of the names they granted our kind, every word I have heard that could have been used for us came first from their lips, not ours.
