See Kaz was a thief and a con man, but he had never planned a military campaign before. The closest thing to it he ever got was planning to break into a military prison once. Kaz was revising his thoughts on how intelligent he thought Lauri-El was since she was proving to be both useful and practically-minded in this.

"Suppose we do plan to go in the spring, and suppose we do decide to go in one large group instead of many smaller groups, would you be interested in going then?"

That way Kaz would have a whole season to plan with her if she still said no.
