Cater is all here to talk less about himself and learn more about Rayne, so he's happy to let the conversation shift about the other boy's perspective on things. "You do strike me as a dreamer," he comments, thoughtful in the way he approaches the subject. He could imagine the idea of being a "dreamer" being one that might insult the prefect, but of course that isn't at all how Cater means it.

"I mean, I get the sense that you have big plans for the future. That you want to change the world."

For the better, Cater thinks. Rayne was a hardass but he didn't strike Cater as the kind of person who would work so hard and so diligently to make a darker future. Still maybe he's wrong, so he decides not to speculate on the manner in which he thinks Rayne might be aiming for.
