Don Juan couldn't help it; he scoffed at the question. "I don't want to fuck her up." Which meant he didn't want to be involved by extention. There was no kind of involvement he could have with a young girl, still developing all her notions about how the world worked and how she fit into it, that wouldn't leave her ruined to some extent. If she made it to adulthood and managed not to have a single thing in common with him, it could only possibly be to her benefit.

"I don't think that'll happen," he said, crossing his arms loosely over his knees. "Between you and me I think the case that I'm a fit parent is a pretty weak one."
