Aaron reaches an interesting sort of crossroads here. On one hand, he could use this to be impressive and useful to Malcolm, which always serves his interests. On the other - he doesn't want to reveal any of Una's secrets. More than he already has.
"Eh, not really," he lies. "We mostly just talk about books. Hey. You think that counts as a book club?"
“Sounds better than a book club,” Malcolm tells him sincerely, even if he did recognize that Aaron held something back. He pats the desk. “I think that’s good for one day. You can take the rest of the tea with you.”
