There are many humans who allow me to feed from them. It's not a matter of "doing better." I fed from them before this month, and I'll feed from them next month.

Miss Leclerq, I won't mince words. With the events of these past few weeks, our kind has grown more and more erratic through no fault of our own. The relationship we have with the hunters here is tenuous at best. If any of us acts out as they believe we would, they will step up. And while I do not fear them, I believe it's foolish to assume they aren't a threat and are incapable of making our lives here quite uncomfortable. It's in my best interest - and, as one of the Originals, my duty in some respects - to keep an eye on matters.
It's hardly a judgment about your eating habits; if they're willing, no one has the right to complain. However, this month in particular has been exceptionally trying for all of us with the blood supply's inefficiency and our restraint failing more and more. And, frankly, I believe you know exactly why we've come to check up on you given a previous conversation of ours.
. . . and if I'm not mistaken, that is indeed quite a bit of blood.

You may be an Original where you're from, but not here. You have no dominion over me.

Take this from me, if you would.
