"It might be something like that to you, but that's because you refuse to listen to our story. For us, this is a matter of life or death. It isn't something that can be casually sneered about by some stranger with a little bit of power."

Jason backed down when it came to strength because he knew Atlas could decimate him. On top of that, since he wanted to maintain at least a cordial relationship, he kept a sincere and honest tone of speech.

That kind of protection was worth more than his own life, so he was more than willing to sacrifice it.
