[That final offer is what he wants to reject the most, but she's provided enough information (and enough for him to draw further conclusions) to know that she's telling a simple truth: they work well together. Jason doubts he'll have arguments with her about whether or not to kill Faolan and Lancelot and improve their cause. But he doesn't know. War is different from vigilante behavior. She'll have to understand it, and it's better to accept that strength than push it away.

Jason denies all notions that do occur to him that he simply wants to have someone close to him that he does know. He denies the fact that her affection is a wanted a thing. He doesn't deny that she would be a good ally. That is clear. That is all there is.

(Jason is rather good at convincing himself of something, but he doesn't always remain muddled in those ideals unless pushed. He changed his mind on Bruce's fate several times, and was happy with these changes.)]

You'll have to meet the others. Don't divulge too much about me. The woman in charge of this city is the Baronness Ariadne. [My best friend. Who he's hurt. He's hurt her, but that's what he does. He disappoints.] I work in tandem with her and a few others, but I believe in our cause.

We're here to find a way to change fate and stop a cycle from repeating. We're here to save existence. It isn't typical, and it requires a lot of bloodshed. Are you up for the task? [Half the time when Jason gives this speech to people, he feels like an action hero.

He won't admit it to anyone (anyone), but it makes him feel pretty fucking cool.]
