Given the glance Vex gives him, considering his answer through the fringe of her dark eyelashes, it's safe to say that she is curious. She knows relatively little about this man they're taking on, a man who just ate her out pretty handily, and it's natural to wonder who he is. There's a brief sharpness in her dark eyes.
It's worth considering if he has enemies.
But then, it's worth considering if all of them do. Scanlan has probably left dozens of angry fathers, spouses and abandoned lovers behind him to stew. And at least in this case he seems to be the one doing the hunting, which would tend to imply that they're unlikely to have his quarry coming after them anytime soon.
In the end, Vex's eyes soften and she decides to let the curiosity pass.
"Well, darling, if your job suggestions do become profitable you know where to find us. And I'd say you're in no position to complain about our work."
