Skellig tips his head ever-so-slightly, subconsciously 'listening' for anything from Akatan; he finds nothing of note, currently. But he can sense a bit of hesitation, on Kreyu's part. And not wanting to cause her to potentially reveal anything she may not wish to...

"I can hear much sharper than most," he offers in explanation. (Whether Taweret will take that to mean simply 'sound' or something deeper, he will leave that up to her.) "I have already heard what some young men have said about me, about us. And I would work to dispel that, through my actions while I am in this place."

He looks over at Kreyu, meeting her gaze - but he's still speaking to Taweret

"And I will also let no harm come to her, despite the intent that may creep into the minds of others."
