Muscovy shakes his head. He under normal circumstances would be fine with that kind of help, even like it, but he doesn't want to be indebted to Nick. Not without knowing more about him. And as much as he doesn't mind being perceived as a child, Nick has managed to push all the buttons to identify him with the people and situations where Muscovy doesn't want to be perceived as a child because it will hamper his ability to be a useful and thus involved and worthy of keeping around part of society - someone who even if let in on duties and work groups won't be left to do something useful, or only a very small amount of it. He understands being paid significantly less than an adult doing a thing, or people being distrustful of his abilities, but it's the attitude that he connects with "even if I were to prove myself it makes no difference" - the wrong kind of protecting him, not the kind that is real protection like what the members of his family provided (backing him up against dangers and providing him with safe places), but the kind that Wash and Bill Adama provided, the one keeping him away from participation.
