He decides to pass on the food, and once she's put the paper with the riddle down-- and though he looks suitably concerned when the light suddenly appears, he doesn't pay attention to it-- he picks it up and reads it himself.

[ There's another paper two chairs down from where Logan's seated, so he stands and goes to pick that up. He reads it out loud: ]
I am the fountain from which no one can drink. For many I am considered a necessary link. Like gold to all I am sought for, but my continued death brings wealth for all to want more.
[ He looks back up at Elizabeth. ] You know that one?
take some more tea.
