Jason knew all too well that the process of integrating a new bloodline was not something to be taken lightly. The changes to his body would be intense and unpredictable, likely leaving him incapacitated for a time as his physiology adapted to the new power. His previous experiences with bloodline integration had been challenging enough, with periods of intense pain, disorientation, and weakness as his body underwent the transformation. A third bloodline would almost certainly be even more difficult to endure.
Given the stakes, Jason decided to put the idea on hold. Now was not the time to weaken himself, especially when he was in the midst of a battle with powerful enemies. He needed to stay sharp, focused, and in full control of his abilities. The possibility of gaining a third bloodline was tantalizing, but it would have to wait until he could afford the time and safety to undergo the transformation without risking his life in the process.
