"Good slaves follow Asmodeus's orders exactly when they have those orders.  They follow orders in a more ordinary obedient way when somebody like the Most High gives them orders, in a way that doesn't assume the Most High had complete knowledge.  When they don't have orders, follow their own initiative about either serving Asmodeus's interests, or - serving their own pride and pushing themselves up in the tyranny, where neither I nor Sevar nor apparently the Most High understand why that's Asmodeus's thing, instead of everybody just having Asmodeus's utilityfunction.  But He's about tyranny and pride, not just slavery."

"You like following orders.  You like only following orders.  That's what's the most fun for Pilar Pineda, not what's best for Asmodeus's interests."
