[That earns a very close look and a slightly raised eyebrow from Altaïr, but he doesn't inquire how exactly Geralt knows this to be the case. The man is certain, that's obvious, and he must have a reason to be so, or think he does.
Whatever the reason behind that certainty, it wouldn't be the strangest thing Altaïr has seen in this world, and he of all people knows that some men are able to sense things that others cannot. Besides, if he were to object and insist they investigate to the satisfaction of all, despite even the lack of response from the hound, it would likely only waste precious time.]

Glancing back to make sure the others are following him, he drops his gaze to the hound. He hasn't seen one work like this.]
