#he's so mean to smunker sometimes

can't fool him

i know you made a post about this already but is there any particular action al and you/smunker take since the vampiric eating disorder revelation?

Having present, reliable sources of blood to drink is good for Talon but does nothing for the root of the issue, so he still forgoes feeding for as long as possible for a good while.

the most al and smunker can do is maybe try and coax him to eat if they see he's doing very badly, or remind him that they're There for him but they obvs can't force him to do anything... He also sometimes just goes off to find another source if he's in a I Don't Need Your Charity mood

The expected progression would be: he feeds on al and smunker, but is still in food (blood) scarcity mindset so he wears a mask around em (in "canon" he doesn't let anyone see his face post feeding) because altering his appearance consumes blood. ideally he would get to a point where he feeds more often and alters his appearance to however he would like to look, whether that's Old and Haggard or regular aged guy, but that would require lots of healing, in many meanings
