[Crane has to consider this offer. He loathes charity, detests it, needs to stamp it wherever he sees it, especially when it feels aimed at him personally - and oh he always would, if he could escape suspicion.
He doesn't consult anyone about anything - he doesn't need to because he knows what he's doing.
He can, however, see when a business offer is made. This offer is intellectual, it's intriguing. And it's giving him what he needs. Access to chemicals.
He tilts his head a little.]
Really? What a splendid offer. But won't your assistant be a problem for you?
