Jean-Claude isn't about to offer up himself cavalierly. He didn't become a Master so he wouldn't use his privileges. And, besides, he is not free enough with his emotions to be a good meal, he thinks, while he has someone who he keeps explicitly because he is. He thinks he will serve in this capacity as well.

He sounds amused as he says it, pausing to observe his reaction before leaving.
