[The fight had been what Jason needed. To call it a spar would be an understatement. These days, it's impossible to go all out. He's too difficult to hurt, and he's too determined to give up. Giving in to the adrenaline rush from a fight is too easy to do, and it's precisely what happened here. He hasn't done anything to hurt Bellamy, but he's definitely in a different position than he had been in the Citadel. Above all else, Jason is fighting like he can't lose another fight. He can't risk that for anyone.
There's a lot left unspoken. The truth is, Jason doesn't want to talk about it. He doesn't want to talk about the stress of bringing the barons together, and he doesn't want to talk about how that job is one that Morla should have never given to him. He doesn't want to talk about the tail end of those meetings and Ariadne nearly throwing him out. He doesn't want to talk about the fact that they're losing, that there are a billion odds stacked against them, and he doesn't even know which direction to point everyone. He doesn't want to say that he doesn't have an idea of what to do next.
Truthfully, it's becoming clearer to Jason as time goes on that even with his training, he might not be on the battlefield in a month. It might be better to keep him off the front lines. As much as he can fight, he might need to approach things differently. All the soldiers for the different barons are the pieces on a board. That's assuming they can move without being toppled first. Some of Jason's negative thinking has definitely led to him thinking of the worst.
When the spar is over, some of that comes rushing back to him, but he tries to push it out of his mind. He goes to grab water—some for both him and Bellamy—and carries it back, extending the cup meant for Bellamy out to him.]
You got any preferences on where you wanna be next month? [After all that, it doesn't hurt to ask. Maybe Bellamy has somewhere in mind.]
