Tony repressed a sigh of frustration. It was like talking to a brick wall. It seemed his quick wits were selective. The man made Michael seem like a trained puppy in comparison!
Could he not understand that this was not an issue of compensation, but life and death? No amount of pride or money would save him from the blade or bullet of an assassin.
Tony let Claire decide if or how to reply to the smart-ass comment about the Indian woman and got to the point. "Good, it's a start at least. I have very few rules. I'm not your father"
he let that hang a moment before continuing. Damn but it was hard to control himself with this man! "All I ask in return is you keep this 'arrangement' to yourself and don't try anything that will draw attention to your power. That's not only for my sake, but your own. Attention will get us both killed. I'll teach you how to use it without killing yourself and enough so your not helpless if anyone decides the world is better off without Jaxen Marveet."
It was with great reluctance that he added one last part, but he had dedicated himself to the cause, for good or ill. "If you ever find yourself in trouble because of your power, you have a friend you can come to for help."
