Jason didn't want to decide for everyone. The stakes were too high, and the consequences of aligning with Scathatch were too serious for him to make the choice alone. He also didn't want to reveal his true objective to his allies just yet. There was too much at risk, and he needed time to think everything through.
"I need a day to think about the proposal," Jason said finally.
His allies looked at him, a mix of anticipation and concern in their eyes. They understood the gravity of the situation and appreciated Jason's caution. They knew that rushing into such an alliance could have dire consequences, but the hope of support and growth was a powerful lure. Jason's request for time was met with nods of agreement. They trusted his judgment and knew that he would make the best decision for all of them.
"Take your time, Jason. I'll be here when you're ready to talk." Scathatch smiled, showing a knowing glint in her eyes.
