Strike: >I'll take care of my own, don't worry about me. I'm more resourceful than you think. I'm still thinking all kinds of things and learning as I go. I aspire to be MVP and not a burden and not in your debt or you in mine.
Replace with:
I'll take care of my own for the most part but I won't say no to a shield or whatever, but it's a loan or whatever and I'll pay you back, so don't worry about me. I'm more resourceful than you think. I'm still thinking all kinds of things and learning as I go. I aspire to be MVP and not a burden and not in your debt or you in mine, but I understand sometimes we need to make sacrifices for the greater good, I do care and I don't want to see any of you hurt because of my stubbornness.
Ashley is encouraged and hopeful that you can all be happy together despite her quirkiness and wants to be reasonable.
