( The demon pauses, considering this. It's not something he's explicitly been aware of, but it's true that he's felt... more clear. His thoughts, energy... This is the first time he's had a conversation with someone since the month began, but he's realising that she's right. He's able to... speak, to express himself verbally in ways he usually still struggles with. )
I believe it must be. When you cleared the toxin, the.... Corruption, as they call it? It must have helped our energy, our..... selves. Physical, mental...
( He doesn't know about the overarching blood effects going on this month, but it's evident that he and Peter are both doing much better now, that things feel better in comparison to even before the Corruption happened. His host's energy is less anxious, like she says, noticeably relaxed and comfortable. ....Coming from a demon's perspective, Peter's much more pleasant to live in these days, really.
His gratitude towards Luna is warming in him again; she's done so much for them. And she'd clearly spilled.... a lot of blood. The demon certainly understands the importance of such a sacrifice, the power behind it. His spirit prickles at the very thought, eyes shimmering quietly for a few moments as he gazes down at the wounds.
....But there is a concern for her too, for the physical injury. It's an odd awareness to have: to be in awe of Luna's sacrifice and yet worried about her state afterwards. But that's... part of it, really. His bond with his witch is a lasting thing, and he's meant to take good care of her. He wouldn't want her harmed very much, and though it was necessary for the ritual she'd undergone with such a powerful being, he's..... feeling a bit fretful about it, really. )
We will help you heal, and we will take care of you, now. ( He promises, very solemnly, eyes lifting to meet Luna's and just stare again with that same intensity as before. 'We' because it's him and Peter, and for all of their struggle still with one another, that is something they can agree on. Luna's done more than enough; though neither of them can remember the past month, they both know she'd suffered for it. )
As such, I will return your slumbering mate to you shortly. But I do need to discuss something with you. ( It's something he hasn't gotten a chance to touch base with her about; things went downhill so fast, but it's of a great deal of importance. Still, the demon is mindful of that fresh vow to take good care of his witch, and so before he launches into it... he has to ask something first. He's learned that humans seem to enjoy tea when having serious conversations.
He's still staring at Luna very intently, very serious, as he asks.... )

May I make some tea for you, first?
( ...Oh no. )
