[Joshua actually raises his eyebrows, giving Hiro a slightly pointed look.]
By admitting that, you've told me that you don't trust Jason to not let you make your own mistakes and learn from them while in the field. What you don't seem to see is that Jason's presence gives the man the ability to step in and handle the danger himself if it looks as though the enemy is too skillful for you at that point in time. He can't do that while he's in the Spire, now, can he? He certainly wouldn't take kindly to being left behind to twiddle his thumbs and wait for someone to come tell him whether you died or not.
Not to mention, it appears selfish of you to not let him take the risk or decision to put himself at risk to save you just because you don't want him to get hurt or killed. Do you have any right to take those choices away from him?
[He leans forward to rest his chin in one of his hands, propping his elbow up on the table.]
You can't ditch Nico just yet because, from the sounds of it, your task isn't complete. So. As far as I see it, the best solution is to write Jason a letter. Tell him when you plan on going home as exactly as you can, and stress to him that if you don't do this task, then the consequences you face will be worse than your High Queen could ever dream of carrying out. If something comes up, then it is an absolute necessity that you write to tell him what happened and how long of a delay you expect. The key is to keep him informed about your goings on as much as possible, as well as being consistent with your letters. This whole thing started by you keeping him out of the loop. Therefore, the best way to remedy it is by making sure he is in the loop and you can rebuild a foundation of trust.
