It's such an absurd suggestion that he practically trips over it, which is the only reason he has time to rethink things before he gets round to the requisite scoffing and gagging. Something he cares about, eh?
The downside to the whole mummified corpse wreathed in unholy fire gig is that it's not really made for subtle implication. Lifting an eyebrow isn't really done. So he settles for cocking his head slightly to one side and giving her the nearest approximation of a sidelong glance he can manage. It's half taut, like she's managed to catch him jumping from one conclusion to another.
Which, to be fair, she has.
"Look, kid. Even if there was something - and I'm not saying there is -, what could you even offer? I hate to break it to you, but you're dead weight to the likes of me. "
