Wolfram's eyes drill into Pyrem's as he answers Lauretta's questions. He'd like to make him nervous with his stare, while also noting any tells that might suggest the man is less than honest.

As you just said yourself, most of what you have found has been of no value. There would have to be indications of worth before hiring guards and wasting our time on a wild goose-chase."
His grilling of Pyrem would have to wait as trouble looked to be brewing up ahead.
"Looks like we have company." Wolfram unhitches his bow but doesn't nock an arrow just yet ... at least until the stink pervades his nostrils. "We might want to find cover until we figure out exactly what we are dealing with. Friends of yours, Pyrem?"
