Samuel shakes his head gently. She really wouldn't be much good to him as an assistant, other than having an extra pair of hands around, but... well, he's a bit of a bleeding heart.

"If you want to tag along with my investigations and research, I don't mind. But you'd be more of a student than an assistant. Would you be alright with that?" If she does well, and learns under his wing, she might be able to 'graduate' to assistant, but for now, she'd be the one getting the better deal out of this, not him.
