He sounds incredibly unenthusiastic. "No Stryker, no... Weapon X." No Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters. "No one to hold responsible."

He stops when he does and glances at her, away, and slows his walking as if to allow her to detach and go off on her own.
"You should, uh. Let me know if you want help out here. 'Want' bein' the operative word, because it doesn't sound like you need it." The qualifier is less to pander to her ego and more to circumvent precise correction.
Not that she might not get it anyway, occasionally, but it's polite to ask.
