Hm. [It wasn't the speed, or the answer that had the note of truth to his inner ear. But the reason. If he was a craftsman of this sort, no, he really wouldn't.]
That does explain why you would agree to such an oath. [A beat.] Send along a copy of what you report to Gregor. I should like to watch your work.
[There IS a startled pause on the line, and a bemused sound follows it. It makes sense, rationally. A business shouldn't have the ledgers available for anyone who just asks.
It's just not a road block he's USED to... There's a temptation to push, just to see if he can, but it being Gregor's territory makes it a bit more delicate.]
I'm not sure how you expected me to comment on financials I have no access to. But just as well. Let me know.
[ Is that...it? Really? He starts to relax, just a little, uncertainly. Tentatively. ]
Well, I thought that...maybe Gregor had already given you access. He, uh...He hasn't, right? [ A beat - ] Or Miles, I suppose. He is technically the head of the Dendarii.

I'll lay my petition. [He answers wryly.]
[Voice]
Uh - oh. Yeah. Okay, good. Great. Thanks. That'd be good. That'd make things a lot easier.
[Voice]
That will be all, Mr. Kane. I'll speak with you again.
[Voice]
[ but please neVER COME TO THE OFFICE PLEASE if he never has to look the Butcher in the eye that will be a truly happy life ]
