>You will get yourself and the entire party into serious trouble beyond my capabilities to resolve.
If I'm that much of a disturbance for wanting something I can call my own and not be in someone else's debt then I'll leave. That will solve everyone's problems. Cat will know that she can accept me as part of her tribe, as odd ball and kooky as I am, or she can reject me, and if she does I'll respect that as a cat-sister. I'll be sad, but that will be my own choice to make. I'm done being everyone's doll.
Say this quest, say you take it and I'm not there, you get less money overall because you have less bodies, if I'm there I can help as long as I'm not a burden, but some of that money will be mine, what I officially earned will be mine, some of that loot will be mine at your discretion. I said I would happily loan you what I don't need for my barest essentials, but when we have a windfall I'll want you to repay me because I don't want you in my debt either, loot excluded, you tell me how much or what I can or can't have, but if you give me anything, it's mine. You gave me these clothes, they're mine, I'll sell them or keep them or throw them out. Obviously I don't want to offend you, so I'll be respectful.
>But if this is unacceptable to you we will work out something else.
YES YES Yulya yes!
