"Bon, that is encouraging to hear," he replies, some amusement rising now that he feels firmly in control again, the situation recovered. "Perhaps we can determine what set you off." When he's not acting for his audience, and most of his pretence is stripped away, Jean-Claude takes on an eery deathly quality that is characteristic of older vampires. Younger ones might look half-alive at times, but Jean-Claude has shed every habit of the living: no instinctive breathing, no fidgeting, and a fixed gaze and focus that has not the slightest hint of impatience.
"I must ask, what is it that you feed on? I do not recognize it from this interaction." Jean-Claude suspects he hasn't seen his like before, which is not unusual. He is focused on the practicalities here rather than academic interest, himself. Not what are you, but what do you do.
