[Jon is fully aware that Martin would be unhappy he's contacting Elias, but at this point, after what happened with the spell and Vash, there is some measure of sense in it. The man is the only other avatar of the Beholding in the city, and he's had centuries to learn. Jon doesn't want to go back to how it was with the written Statements, just feeling hollow, wanting the next one without really caring all that much about the one he's just had. He can't risk getting violently aroused, either, if someone tries to force-feed him another verbal one.
He'd been rash with Agnes and that concentration spell. He needs to be a little more measured. Gather information. Elias doesn't take Statements, so what does he do, instead? Maybe there's some escape there. And... some advice to fix what Jon has done to himself. He can hope on the latter, at least.]
