As the others in the caravan speak of birds in the sky, the caravan potentially being followed, and being on alert, Robert seems to not take heed of the advice. He had not noticed anything peculiar stirring about, and as far as he was concerned, his companions were being paranoid, looking for something to attach meaning to. He had noticed through the journey to Lerest that they had avoided others, and had kept to themselves. Perhaps they were on the run from something, or someone, and were letting their nerves get to them. These were trying times, so he understood why they may have their concerns. He did not respond to Svisyrra or Amanaki other than to nod an affirmation that he had heard them, but despite his thoughts, he found himself keeping a wary eye towards the grasses on either side of the caravan.
