Edana watched the man as he stood by the door while she read the emotions he was emitting. She had upset him by using his surname, or at least that's what she'd gathered when he'd winced and put on a fake smile after she'd done it. Hmm. "Jason, then." she smiled a small smile, trying to put him at ease (without using her abilities).
She'd looked over his files previously, and she'd learned a great deal about his past and wasn't surprised that he was having difficulties with his inner...demons (no pun intended, okay, maybe a little). She fought to suppress a snort when Jason said "might" have inspired the gym situation. Yeah, raping Joe just may have inspired him to think he could get away with doing the same to Northstar, which he basically succeeded in, as he had jerked the man off right in front of she and Zap's eyes (she hadn't been able to see him quite the same way since that night). And he had lost control which could have seriously injured her best friend, Jean-Paul, and of course, herself. They may have provoked him, but he certainly didn't have to take the bait. "Yes, it was."
She watched his face as he said the actual 'I'm sorry'. From what she was reading off of him, he was being sincere in his apology. Old dogs could learn new tricks. Good. She fought the urge to roll her eyes when he once again used the word "might". He for sure unsettled everyone of her friends and colleagues he'd come in... contact with. She sighed after he was through speaking. The man was being honest and trying to better himself, and she couldn't fault him for that. And he did want her advice for when he went and spoke with the others, which was another start in the right direction. "Apology accepted." she said, trying to lighten the mood a little. "With the others... I can't suggest anything specific. Just tell them what's on your mind and in your heart and I'm sure it will be fine." He wasn't necessarily a dumb person, so she was giving him the benefit of the doubt and not pointing out that the others he planned to speak with shouldn't be alone when he apologizes to them. However, she did think it wise to mention he choose his words and actions wisely when speaking with Zap, should he plan to apologize to her as well. "Do you recall Mars? He's with Zap, now, so he may be a little more severe if something happens he doesn't like." Such as, sudden movements.
