"I did all I could just to reach the height I'm at right now. There's no need for me to snatch your resources. Then again, is it possible that …"She raised her head to look at Ariel. "Are you just doing this so I'd feel grateful to you and that I'd owe you a favor from now on?""That's not what I meant."
