Ignoring Ravus's comment on her sugar addiction, she took a long sip from her cup. The sweetness and warmth of the beverage, gave her some courage.
"If my sweet tooth is going to make me ill then your smoking habits will send you to hell" she gave him a bitter smile over the rim of her cup. She knew he wanted to leave and it wasn't like she wanted him to be trapped here but she also knew that he wasn't strong enough to last beyond the boundaries of the house; He'd be found by someone or something and either sent down to hell or purgatory or worse, bound to a form of servitude. It's not like she could break the boundaries either. She'd lost any form of that power long ago.
Turning to the girl who was now in the garden catching her breath, she held out a non-sugared cup of tea. " Here you go sweetie. No sugar, like you asked". She noted the herbs in the girls hands and held back at telling her not to touch them. It was only a few sprigs but still. Her herbs were her life.
At Di's voice felt some relief, but she really did wish that Di hadn't mentioned Charles. It was a sensitive subject to her, but she knew that Di only meant the best. Deep down she hoped Di was right about Charles. She hoped he'd be proud of her.

I'm glad it made sense! For a while i felt like i was rambling.
If the object is damaged then the demon may at first feel pain due to the binding being broken however that will subside; the pull of hell will call to them which they can resist if they will if they have enough energy which they can gather via their emotion meals. This means they would be able to roam around earth unbound.
The demons gain power by devouring emotions, however to move a rank up this takes huge amounts of feeding. The easiest way of being moved up a rank is by receiving a blessing from a greater demon.

She felt a headache coming on. Frustration ebbed in her temples like the beat of a drum as she watched Ravus engage with the red headed girl. The addition of Rueni's voice in her ear only added to the stress a of the situation and she was sure no one had shut the front door after themselves.
Right, compose yourself! Deep breath Marie! What would Charles say if he saw you in this state?
He'd... he'd know what to do. He always did.
She pushed back the sadness that threatened to overcome her, hoping Ravus wasn't reading her aura; He'd know she would be thinking of her husband.
"Take the smoking outside, please! There's already enough dust in here without you worsening the situation" Her voice was firm, she didn't want to start an argument with him but she also wanted him to know she was in charge of the situation. Rueni was right, he had broken the rules and some way or another there would have to be consequences! Not that she knew what that would be at the moment...
Looking down the hall at the rest of the tenants she forced a smile,"Come on you lot! One of the you close the door and leave your bags in the hall; you can pick them up when we've discussed your rooms. Now, who takes sugar?".
She noticed the two boys picking up belongings that had fallen out of a box. Hopefully they weren't too messy. They're energy by itself was enough to make the demons restless; mess would only worsen the situation, especially with Rueni and Ravus.
Turning to the tea on the table she started to add sugar to her own cup. One...two...three. She defiantly deserved 4 sugars today; it was only the early morning and she was already sweating with the stress of trying to run the household.

The artefacts that demons can be bound to can be most objects; so even a book or notepad ect, however it is better if they are bound to more stable/strong objects such as jewellery.
The reason only humans can preform the rituals is because the spell created to bind demons was created to imprison them by humans to areas ( like the house). Binding to objects was developed later by humans who wished to gain power from demons, by binding demons to an object the human has control to a certain degree, however demons still have autonomy over their choices ect.
Angels are only really summoned if a greater demons presence is found and since all of the demons bound to the house are lesser demons, their presence isn't noted or isn't a concern.

I hope this helps x

Marie

Marie shuddered as she heard D'yavol's voice in her ear but stifled a response. Really, Mar-Mar? she knew he loved to annoy her but at this point it was just tiresome. She'd also heard a noise from the other room, quietly she hoped that
She noticed the newest member of their party entering the house after them, another boy. More people to impress and make sure nothing goes wrong, thought Marie. Just greatttt!
She watched as the girl hid behind her sleeve and cursed herself about the dust; she'd been so worried about how the demons would act that she hadn't paid enough attention to the dust. She ushered the girl into the kitchen with a smile and then ran in front of her to open the back door to the garden. The air immediately felt lighter.
She took a gulp and turned around only to see Ravus still visible. Panicked she motioned for him to disappear by shaking her hands at him and pulling an angry expression.

Marie nodded at Freya, I'm sorry about the dust then sweetie!I've been tidying all morning but the damned stuff doesn't want to move! .
Noticing the new arrival she turned to him, "Well hello there! And don't mind about all those formalities and yes I know why you're wet " she raised her hand to the dizzle and chuckled before beckoning him in with the others.
Marie started down the hall, taking over her shoulder as she spoke. She hoped she wasn't rambling, she rambled when she was anxious. OK GUYS! I'll put some tea on and you guys can sit down - OH can you also close that door behind you? I'm sure the others will be here soon but still! . Marie paused as she saw the tea but smiled she realised it was Di's doing butin her haste she didn't notice the 2 demons squabbling in the corner.

"Allergies?"Marie queried, her smile faltering for a second.She really hoped it was allergies to pollen and not dust; if it was dust then she'd be in deep trouble. Hopefully the amount of cleaning she'd done so far would be enough. If not she'd have to ask Dirka for help and open the back door and windows around the house.

Marie jumped at the knock on the door. Turning in a circle she decided to place her duster on the table. Taking a deep breath to steady her nerves and running a slightly shaking hand through her hair and gazed upon the kitchen once more; it was fairly clean from her frantic dusting but she open the back window to air out the room just in case. As she opened the window she noticed the drizzled that had began to fall, she watched as it caught the sunlight and as she did a genuine smile curled at her lips. Rain like this had always been magical to her.
Snapping out of her trance, she turned her attention to the hall, or rather, what lay after it. The front door.
Quickly she walked towards it, wishing she'd hovered the carpet in the hall as tiny dust clouds appeared where she stepped. Pausing a moment before she opened the latch, she spoke in a firm voice to no one in particular, "Right You lot! I know this isn't idea for some of you! But this is how its going to be from now on and you're just going to have to deal with it. No funny business now.". Taking another breath in to calm herself she opened the latch.
Outside in the dizzle she saw a young man and lady bringing up luggage to the front step; she forced a large smile into her face, hoping her eyes didn't show her real emotions. "WELCOME!WELCOME! Come inside out of the drizzle sweeties! Id help you with your bags but my back is acting up again, you see".
