[Despite being a demon, Lucille is unafraid of Paimon. She has never been afraid of him, although she supposes she ought to be. Fear would be a 'normal' human response to an ancient being such as he, but Lucille has never been normal. She has always enjoyed his company and has always felt understood by him.
