[Watanuki still hesitated for a moment, torn between telling Varric 'no' and actually going along with it. Either option would potentially cause him trouble, if he was honest with himself. He absolutely was not thrilled about going into a fight against. Haven had been enough for him. But at the same time, e was only here because the higher-ups in the inquisition let him stay. If he displeased any of them enough, he could get kicked out. As scary as fighting was, being alone was scarier.

And then there was the small problem of him randomly passing out whenever Perserverence saw fit to 'bless' him with a vision. He would need a good excuse for that, if it happened out in the field.

Plus, he had been told what to do for pretty much his entire life. It was hard for him to just ignore an order, even if it was one he didn't like. He didn't yet feel adult-ish enough to tell an adult 'no'.

So he stood there for a moment, looking to Varric, then to his boss. He was clearly torn, and for the first time that day he actually looked like a lost teenager, as opposed to someone who had to grow up way too fast.

Finally, he gave up and made an irritated noise.]

I already told you it's not about the money! But if anything happens to me then I'm holding you personally responsible!

[Then he starts to gather his things. Mission accomplished, at least?]
