While renovating my room, [because he destroyed it after learning of God's presence,] I uncovered quite the treasure trove of sweet things that I haven't the stomach for right now. If you'd like, you may take your fill from it.
[Such a creature of simple pleasures, Claude thinks. It's one of the many things about Kyubey to be envious of. His ability to appear and disappear at will is another. And how he has impunity in shitting all over archangels like Gabriel. It's wonderful to watch from the sidelines, at least.]
Good afternoon, [he says, nodding and smiling slightly.] Here you are, Kyubey.
[Leaning down, Claude picks up an actual treasure chest that has been sitting on the floor. It looks like it belongs in a legend, something a glorified pirate of the high seas would bury, all edged in gold and dotted with jewels. He places it on the bed and opens it up, revealing not gold coins but candy, the promised cache of candy, as much as can fit inside this container. Morsels of chocolate, caramel, licorice, mint, and more...]
If I may inquire, I am curious to know what it is Miss Ahiru wished for.
[The treasure chest of candy is, well, delightful to see, and immediately Kyubey's little paws reach for a piece of licorice, shoving it into his mouth greedily.]
She wished for the power to keep her friends safe and happy.
Is there anywhere in particular I should deliver the remaining candy? [Claude asks, watching curiously. He has so many questions about how Kyubey processes energy, but those can wait.] Or should I assume you have no one place to call your "home"?
[... of course, Kyubey could just plant himself here and gorge on everything. And it'd be grueling if Claude had to witness every piece disappear down someone else's gullet. This is for the best, he tries to tell himself. His Highness will be pleased. (He might be putting too much value on Alois Trancy's opinions.)]
"The power to keep her friends safe and happy."
[He can't help but laugh--a very cruel sound.]
Such an ambiguous desire, so open to interpretation.
Good show.

Did Miss Ahiru even think to ask what the contract was or would do to her?
[Blind wishes are the best.]

[Another piece disappears down his throat.]
They're the best kind of wishes - ambiguity always makes them terribly easy to grant.
