Lemm considers that first bit. It's not that he wants to give them more work to do than necessary, not when his instinct is to pay them for it. Then again it's their knowledge of Hallownest he'll be relying on most heavily.
He settles on a maybe: "I was going to borrow yours again and do it myself, but you'd be more familiar... I don't want you cluttering it with notes about things I won't find relevant, though. If you want that job, wait until you get back."
The next question gives him a lot more pause. He actually looks away for a second, fingers tapping on the counter while he struggles with admitting this is personal curiosity and not just taking stock of a possible supply run.
"...Whoever," he says unhelpfully, like he regrets asking in the first place. "And buy extra paper for yourself, while you're at it. Can't have you running out when you have something to say."
