The usage of 'see'
The protagonist is one of royal family member of Amber.
The protagonist's best friend Luke, who is badly injured but half-immortal, has attacked them to revenge himself on them for the killing of his father.
The Luke want to sell the protagonist his information for his help but to give it to him after what he is up to do is finished.
"What if it becomes worth knowing while I'm waiting?"
"No, I've figured the timing on this. My recovery is only going to take a couple of days,Amber time. I can't see the matter coming up that fast."
.........................
"Luke, this is starting to sound like some sort of trick."
"It is," he said, "but it will benefit Amber as well as myself."
"That's another thing. I can't see you giving something like this away to the enemy."
["Trumps of Doom" of The Great Book of Amber by Roger Zelazny]
I think the first "see" is same to the other in the meaning?"regard".
But I think the first construction is "see + a noun + a gerund," but that the second is "see + a pronoun + a present participle."
So I was wondering if that usage of "see" represents the two construction.
Thank you in advance for your help.
