There didn't seem to be much of a visible reaction that Ashe could see, save maybe her quiet, but that could easily be attributed to her not wishing to scare the birds away.

"Question and answer works," he responded, taking a seat and looking very much like a lounging cat again. It was always the way he looked and it was never on purpose. He added, "Saying what we already know can be incorporated into the questions." And that was true. Chances were many of the questions would be stemmed from some assumption or perceived knowledge that one had about the other.
He continued," After all, we are all each of us riddles, when unknown one to the other. So it's more fun to ask questions because it makes it feel more of a riddle." There'd been a reference to a book by the muggle author Mary Shelley in there, but it wasn't from her famous work and likely unlikely that Lyra would be familiar with it.
