Jason shakes his head. Silently disagreeing with Lyume and Tax. He wasn't believing it as he was broken inside. Broken into believing he was a broken man. Damaged goods who was not worth a damn penny. This is why he felt she had wasted her money upon him. It was what he had been beaten, raped, tortured, and taught to believe. He stays silent. Saying nothing as Tax spoke. "I am not worthy of such high ranking." he says sadly. He doesn't answer but his words and mouth expression said he was broken inside. Spiritually broken. He listens to their words. "As she wishes." he says monotonely.<br/><br/>Listening to Tax. "She can give them something. It is fine. I do the best I can for my treasures." he says. Almost sounding used to having to defend his children from being taken from him. He nods his head. "Children are lovable. I don't mind. They can be treated the way they deserve. They deserve far more than I...." he trails off and falls silent again. He smiles as his kids start to bounce around excitedly. He felt the movement in the air their actions caused. Then he paled and visually shrunk away into himself. He shakes his head. "She d-didn't hurt me. Her powers didn't act up. I would have sensed it and been prepared with a nullifier." he says simply. "My own powers would have nullified her powers from harming me...or my children." he trails off again. "I am a freak...she said so..." he sounds saddened by the fact he slipped and let them know he was gifted with a power of some sort. He was trying to also avoid answering the why he was afraid.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Myxi pulls her thumb from her mouth. "Daddy jumpy around all ladies sixteen and older." she says cutely. Noticing her daddy paling she pats his hand comfortingly.</span><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Luka pipes up with. "Yeah...mommy hurts daddy whenever she gets a chance. Mommy started hurting daddy when he was just recently turned seventeen. She---" the rest of his words were muffled by Jason's hand as he was shaking violently. Not wishing another to know of his weakness. When his daddies hand moved. "Daddy gets hurt keeping us safe from mommy." he finishes. Not finishing the prior statement about what his mommy does to his daddy. But the implication made it clear...it was far from gentleness.</span>
