[ he is, in fact, asking because it'll tell him something about crais. not in an enemy of an enemy is my friend way, but just because even if he wouldn't exactly trust felix or sharkface as far as he can throw them, he does know that they aren't stupid, and are entirely capable people in their own right. he doubts they would willingly keep going on with crais if he really did have an ulterior motive. and it does, of course, inform him that crais understands ( or mostly understands ) the kind of risk he's undertaking with people like them in the first place.
it doesn't mean much further than that, of course. he could still have other purposes none of them know about, or felix could be the one pulling wool over their eyes. but its something, and leaves wash with the strange pragmatic conclusion that taking crais at face value honestly makes the most sense.
. . . it doesn't mean he'll really do it, just yet. but he has reached that thought. ]
Neither of them are stupid. But entirely unused to dealing with anyone quite like you.
[ he takes another bite from the apple, glances down at the kitten in his lap as it mewls for more attention. wash is happy to provide more scritches. perfect poker face otherwise. ]
