[Joshua reaches up to brush the hair out of his face.]
Here is how it appears to me. Your timing on giving information, first of all, needs more work. It's like you signed yourself up for a study abroad program, but didn't bother to let your aunt know until about two days before you're scheduled to leave. You gave a promise to stay in one place, which was, admittedly, a rather foolish thing for you to do considering your personality and general disposition for wanderlust. That promise means he's as good as your guardian, though unofficially, until you're released from it.
However, Jason most graciously gave you a chance to have a graceful way out of those particular consequences. Obviously, he must not have phrased it in the best way, but I have no way of knowing for sure since I wasn't there for that conversation. [And only has Hiro's word on it.] In any event, his want to go along with the two of you on your task was where you made your biggest mistake. By saying no, you're essentially telling him that you don't trust his abilities, you don't trust him, and you especially don't want him around for an extended period of time. Of course, it's a moot point if the Shuck specifically told you that it had to be you two alone with no interference by anyone else.
[Joshua hums thoughtfully.]
On the other hand, you could have still let Jason go with you as long as he didn't do anything that would hinder or sabotage your task. Either way, by saying yes, you would've saved yourself a lot of trouble with him.
[Now, he shrugs.]
It's in the past and can't be changed, though. What can change is how you conduct yourself in the future. The damage is salvageable, since Jason's giving you another chance. I'm sure that I don't need to tell you that your relationship won't be able to take another blow like that. You both need to earn each other's trust and respect again.
