Kadaj shrugged slightly. "I imagine we'd cover more ground seperately. We can communicate using the journals, arrange meetings to discuss progress... and payment." He gave her another small smirk, seeming to sense her desire for them to stick together... or maybe he was just being difficult again, it was hard to say.

"I'm afraid I can't really offer money at the moment, although I anticipate I'll be getting a hold of some soon enough. If you want, we could remain more or less together until then... check this area out thoroughly before going our seperate ways. What do you say to that?" That should cover everything, really; he'd be able to get a chance to "gather" some money to pay her while simultaneously reassuring her that they were "companions" when he didn't consider her anything of the sort. Perfect.
