Both Jean-Claude and Jason know what it looks like when someone is a little fuzzy-headed with satiety, given that they see it on a regular basis. As unenthusiastic as he'd been - and he didn't enjoy reliving that - Jason is still pretty satisfied to see the effect he'd had. He takes pride as a pomme de sang for both blood and sex, and if he's going to add another method to the list of ways he's food, he wants to be as good at this one as he is the other two.

Jason gets to his feet with a leisurely stretch, half stripper and half werewolf with the unconscious physicality of it. He's visibly pleased with himself. "You're welcome. Looks like my job here is done. Do you need anything else from me, Master?" he asks playfully.

Normally, Jean-Claude insists all of his people just use his name. It's a mark of their closeness that Jason gets to irreverently tweak him with Master on a regular basis.

"Non, you are released. Thank you for your indulgence." Jean-Claude lets sincere affection slip into his voice; Jonathan has proven himself and his normal self-control enough with this encounter that he now feels comfortable showing at least some genuine emotion in front of him.

Since Jean-Claude is playing politician at the moment, Jason doesn't initiate physical contact or say anything else before leaving, just gives a wave as he slips out the door. Jean-Claude turns back to Jon, every inch a gracious host. "Would you like a moment of rest, or to reconvene tomorrow? You are welcome to stay here below the Circus if you need accommodations."
