[ That would track with Geralt's... everything. Who wouldn't want to trail this lone wolf home and figure out his deal? (Sensible people, perhaps.) But this wouldn't be the first deeply-in-trouble superhuman type Maxwell has made acquaintance with, which is perhaps the other thing that keeps him lingering here like a well-meaning pest.
Besides that, he can appreciate a man who allows him to be evasive.
Maxwell has been running his hands over the blacksmith's various tools while Geralt inspects his blade for workmanship, apparently more interested in whatever miscellany the craftsmen have left out than in pursuing any of their services. Occasionally, he picks one up to hold it against the light, inspecting the details while he manipulates each one to see what it does and how it works. He couldn't have asked for a more perfect opportunity to be a little nosy -
An opportunity which abruptly comes to a close when Geralt concludes his business and a gruff voice barks at him to keep his paws to himself. Maxwell's hands return to his coat. ]
