Unlike the rest of her organisation, Evelyn at least has some code of honour. It might be one different to his own, but there are some things on which they both agree. That at least is a small relief, some indication that there is someone with some sense to temper the recklessness of her sibling, of his own son.
He won't ask after Connor. It is too sore a subject, best left alone. She would have told him, in their correspondence, if something was wrong with the son Haytham had on;y recently discovered. This meeting was about something else entirely.
The Order and the Brotherhood are enemies, but there are some groups that neither of them can allow to exist. Bringing down the organisations that threaten the Empire's people is not something that the Brotherhood normally help with, but in this instance a shared enemy means Haytham can at least reach out to Evelyn.
If only because he has pertinent information.
With a sigh, he reaches into his jacket, and pulls out the data chip, handing it over. "I hope you are able to do something more with this than we have managed to achieve."
Evie can sense the hesitation, and she can guess it's out of a desire to ask about Connor, but she knows it's a touchy subject and she won't bring it up if he doesn't, not just now anyway. Perhaps she'll find some way of assuring him Connor is doing well if they engage in any other small talk, but it's clear he intends to get down to business right now so she holds off.
"I hope so," she agrees, taking the offered chip "these people do not bode well for any of us."
The others would likely balk at taking any sort of help from the empire, even to take down a mutual enemy, but Evie doesn't have to tell them where this information came from, or how she got hold of it, they would see the logic of taking out the organisation even if they were at similar purposes to the empire for once.
