"It's something I'm careful with," he says honestly. He knows he came close to drawing blood this morning. He can see the bruises on her throat now. He doesn't want to scare her off, but she has to understand this. She shouldn't be envious until she knows what she's being envious of.
"But I look at a human and I know that I can catch them, and kill them, and eat them," he states slowly, tone flat and almost cold. The knowledge that he might be about to say something that will make her leave is at the forefront of his mind. He's still in debriefing mode, though, and emotions have never had a place there and she needs to know. He keeps talking.
"If I'm hungry, I want to. I've tried to." And not always because it's been a full moon night. "And I know that used to disgust me, that I could want that," he remembers and he knows most humans feel the same way about it, "but I came to terms with it some time ago."
He's watching her, expressionless, breathing through his nose so to know her reaction. He's already prepared for the worst.
