So, if he hasn't shown you such things, this sounds like a very fresh and new relationship. [And if it was very new, he had to respect Jinx telling him without much delay, and he could see why she thought that he had to sit down to cope with the knowledge that his daughter was growing up and developing.
That was not a life lesson either he nor Vander had actually had to cope with directly. They had both had their lives ended before it could happen. He felt Vander would take it far more gracefully than he ever would; his trusted support network was so limited that the idea of losing it was deeply uncomfortable.
And he'd destroy the boy if Jinx was hurt. That was an unspoken promise.]
An understanding, you say? [A man of red flags sensing so many red flags already in this situation.] So he silences the voices in your head, does he?
