He didn't want to scare John, but the man deserved to know the truth.
"You'll be found out." He said, putting his hands on either side of John's face. "There will be a white circle or holy rune at a crime scene that will show them what you are. Someone will see too much death and murmur a prayer, and you will be exposed." If it was possible for John to go even more pale, he did.
