Poor Lens - her family values science, but has problems trying to figure out romance. :p Actually like many of the Scholars, she doesn't do so well with Romance. Charter and Vast are pretty good at that because their mother was a pirate. They may not have mares at every port, but at least they know how to keep their cool. Also, I'm sort of surprised that Scalpel didn't ask or wonder why Director Prancer is so willing to trade so fast.

I think the assumption he has is that the Director is distinctly impatient to get his hooves on it, given he has been waiting to get it for many years, still it doesn't mean he isn't partly suspicious of Prancers interest in it, and it doesn't mean he won't be watching Prancers actions closely now he knows about it.
