That gets her a chuckle. It almost makes him feel more secure in her attitude that she has more than a simple altruistic motive. "Ah, well, there is that. I'm sure there will be several of us investigating that." He's tempted to admit that it probably comes from one of their pasts, if it's anything like the church in Locke or the mountain in Vegas, but while he's finding he likes her well enough, he still doesn't know well enough to trust her that much. The chuckle turns into a more sober expression, though, when he says: "I can assure you, Mrs. Kaufmann, that we are as confused and unhappy about these changes as the rest of the world is, and we're simply trying to cope with it as best we can. If we can help, in the meantime, I know I at least will be glad to try."
