[It's early evening and the video shows Jonathan's room, the heavy curtains blocking out the waning daylight and the room lit by a single light. He's seated at a desk, papers spread out before him but clearly his attention isn't on them. Jonathan himself looks markedly better since the last time people may have seen him; there's colour in his skin and while he still looks slightly starved, there's nothing of the hungry expression in his eyes.]
The Lady Fayura and her court have been particularly helpful but have also made certain... factors clear to me. So I feel honesty is the best policy here. Rational thought and decision only.
[He settles forward to rest his weight on his elbows, pale blue eyes fixed on the far-caster.]
I am not human. As unbelievable as it may seem, after I returned to London following the war I was attacked, murdered, and reborn as what I am now. A creature of death and blood that must survive on the living.
[He says it so calmly, matter-of-fact in his delivery.]
I try not to feed on humans but it has been made clear to me that this will no longer work, and animals are not enough to survive on. My hunger cannot be so easily ignored here despite my efforts so I am asking a... favour, a show of trust, if any would be willing to make it.

[She's still got issues with it, but hearing that thing about betraying trust kind of took the wind out of her sails more than not really knowing what to do or it being her place to do anything. She's the Knight of Treachery and known for betraying her King, so being on this side of things isn't something she knows how to handle or really do.]
Be a shame if you did and they had to put you down.
[That was an attempt at finding something to say and...probably not the right one, but she tried. Sort of.]

I don't intend for anyone to have to go that far.

Glad that's settled then.
