[There is a long moment of silence as Jonathan assesses his current options. He could try to mesmerize this man, but he's never dealt with a warlock before, isn't certain of any defenses he might have. He could attack Magnus, but again, he's made mention of magics that Jonathan is unfamiliar with. With the pitiful amount of blood the young Ekon has drunk since his arrival here, he'd have to rely on his enhanced strength and speed more than anything, and he doesn't like doing that unless it's necessary.
Magnus also hasn't presented himself as wanting to actually attack Jonathan or present any particular threat. It could be a ruse, but Jonathan's experience with vampire hunters is that they tend not to bother with deception. McCullum and his men certainly hadn't. That is more the purview of vampires like those in the Ascalon Club. And Magnus is most definitely not a vampire.
Nearly half a minute ticks by before Jonathan inclines his head slightly. The glamour falls, stripping away the muted semblance of life from Jonathan's features. His scars are more prominent, and the mark left by his maker on his neck becomes visible just above his collar on the left side. Jonathan's eyes are the only things that remain particularly lively, though the blue is lighter than before. He watches Magnus closely.]
I really do run the night clinic at the hospital where I work. It agrees with my current constitution.
