Perhaps he did expect to be able (if Blake was on Earth running the rebellion) to still be involved in that (on a strictly avaricious basis,
of
course, making Blake quite literally pay), but then there's that rather
loud
"I want to be free of HIM," to be factored into his thinking.
Avon was well brought up and learned to say he didn't want any chocolate cake when invited out for tea. Or, for that matter, "who thrice did offer him a kingly crown which he did thrice refuse...did this in Caesar seem ambitious?"
A bit of a non sequitor, but does anyone else get the feeling in that
scene
that, what with all those questions (including at least one he knows the answer to and others he could surely work out for himself) Avon's trying
to
*get Orac to make the decision for him*? I almost feel sorry for the poor confused rat-in-a-box ...
I think Avon gives a lot of credence to Orac--otherwise he would have been faster off the mark in thinking of something besides Vila to put out with the recycling.
