Sherlock/Will
I've always had an awkward relationship with the expression of intent. Occasionally I can be more insulting than I realise, but I'm always as convoluted as I mean to be. It allows for me to claim ulterior motivations if my initial intentions fall through. So if you hadn't spoken to me, I could have just been really excited about Nietzche.
Obviously not on Stark's level, but my family has always been exceptionally well off, and my father far more concerned with maintaining that wealth than a relationship with his children. I don't particularly care one way or the other.
