[If the situation from earlier didn't already put Beelzebub's hunger in a far more serious light, then those words certainly do. He's never stated it so plainly before, and it leaves Temenos quiet for a moment.
It is natural and necessary for humans to eat. They have to eat in order to survive. But when taken to the degree of excess, it becomes the sin of Gluttony. As the literal manifestation of Gluttony, Beelzebub seems to have gotten the worst of both worlds. He's had to manage an unending hunger that Temenos couldn't hope to understand for thousands of years. What could Temenos possibly offer as a solution that Beelzebub hasn't tried?
Still alone with his thoughts, he almost misses Beelzebub making his exit.]
...This must sound ridiculous to you. I really ought to apologize for my ignorance.
