[Not denying that, really. He knows that he doesn't get it entirely but he knows better than to say it's because Jason's not elaborating. AS far as he knows, he and Jason have the same problem and that problem is lies of omission. They both do it. Jason's just better at it.
Instinctually his hackles raise a bit and he already has an argument on the tip of his tongue.] I'm not twisting anything. It's still something to think about. [Is it unreasonable…? Yeah, okay, perhaps so. He'd originally dismissed it when Jason brought it up the first time because he'd been so sure he was just doing it to be a jackass. But now thinking back to the harp and thinking back to what Loki's been teaching him? How easily things come to the god and not to him? It's a valid point.
That isn't to say Jason's point is entirely right either, but maybe it was finally time to start listening to him.
He has to. If he's going to figure this out and he's going to survive? He has to. Very slowly he catches Jason's eye again to make sure he knows he's serious before nodding.]
