I don't think he can read minds, although he could probably tell that the MC was feeling uneasy. Killian's reply "if that’s what you want”, was answering the MC's previous question; the MC asked what Killian wanted as repayment for his help. Killian doesn't want wealth or fame, but I guess he's romantically interested in the MC. ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄
Wait I’m confused. Could he read her mind the whole time or not? Cuz he says “if that’s what you want” or sum shizz like that
