There sure were a lot of 'we's in that sentence. Amongst other things. Unfortunately, this is the logic of a child who's learned to be alert for dangers and to fear those with power since he learned to walk, and so sees potential ways for things to go awry around every corner.

Of course, that also means he knows better than to be rude to someone who may well have more powerful connections.

"What do you want to do?"

When in doubt, defer to the noble kid.
