[With only a few seconds to calculate, he spins possibilities. He feels no guilt over analyzing every piece of interaction they have. Hunter's been taught incorrectly. If the problem were swordsmanship, he'd watch not just technique but handling and approach. Since the problem is "how to be a person," he'll do the same.
Hunter is obviously a bit wound up. He doesn't want to be dismissive, as much as he'd prefer they could be casual about it. Better to meet Hunter where he is for now.]
Well, henceforward we can go ahead and assume all requests fall under that umbrella.
[He puts down the book he was flipping through and gives Hunter his attention.]
