@Alch, I think it's more along the lines of a lack of desire or mental stability in light of their violent demonic nature than a lack of mental capacity to hold a conversation. In that, since imps are less ferocious, they're more capable of sitting and having tea. Think of it like... if you were a beetle, you probably wouldn't have much trouble hanging around a cockroach. However, most humans have such a deeply ingrained hatred of cockroaches that 999 out of 1000 times they're either going to ignore the roach or violently crush it and rupture its organs and (exo)skeleton.

(In this analogy, imps are beetles, humans are greater-level demons, and roaches are rs humans.)

I'm not arguing that this idea is right or wrong, I'm just answering since you just asked what the rationale is.
