It most certainly is a sign of trust. Murmur has had a very, very long time to practice his poker face and his game is on point. Any sign of weakness or trouble is certainly a sign that the problems run far deeper than he's willing to let on. He has never been one to complain about his lot in life, only to shoulder his burdens and keep on.
After all, there was no one else to do it.
"Hmm, an interesting question. Truth be told both could be derogatory, dependent upon who and how the words are spoken, but I cannot say either are inherently so. They are also true, depending," And here is where Murmur starts to blather about hierarchy nonsense feel free to tune out if you're bored, Jack.
"There is an interesting point to be made here, however. Not all demons are Fallen, nor do all Fallen become demons. There is a place in between, stuck on the mortal world where some Fallen dwell, forever severed from their link to Heaven but not quite so far gone as to sink to the full depths of Hell. Fallen can, and often do, become demons, but there are also plenty of demons that were never angels to begin with. Usually lesser, younger demons, yet there are still some powerful manifestations of pure malice that can claim the title all the same. Then there are Devils, which have never been angel nor human, but are typically more powerful than your mid to low-rank demons. Of course, in order to be classified as a devil an entity must possess some strong degree of sentience, such is not wholly necessary for the delegation of demon."
Your Celestial Scholar is on duty, evidently. Glad for the distraction, in truth.

"Either way, the word itself is unimportant."
