Well something I learned a long, long, time ago... The authority of at least one is always ruling over you albeit a person or Government. So when the MC speaks to "MOMMY", yeah it's a given he is under her authority. Moreover he had no Authority to eliminate Astrid,,, Vampiric law. Astrid was too much of an influence in the household and had to be removed so he put Astrid on ice at "MOMMIES". If you have Astrid still in the basement you will come to regret it. If you turned her over to Caliso are you upset that in the immortal word of Cartman on "South Park" you heard "MOMMY say... RESPECT MY AUTHORITY". So tell me do you flop an animal onto a living room floor of a friend and leave it without asking? I wouldn't. As far as that dagger, If you elevated the MC properly you don't need the Dagger, Nor did you need to take it. the thing is it was a gift from "MOMMY". As far as the MC needing help? Are we playing the same game, the MC is bailing others out not the other way around. He seems quite capable to me. You seem to be agitated as if I personally stepped on your toes. I'm not.
