Hawke recognizes the dwarf as one of a father-son duo that she met shortly after they begun this expedition and he's wringing his hands worriedly as he approaches.

"Excuse me, Messirs, I couldn't help but overhear that you're going to be leaving camp. I- my son's wandered off, you see? He doesn't realize how dangerous it is down here. Please, Messirs, if you could just-"

Hawke raises a hand to prevent him from babbling on.

"Don't worry, we'll keep an eye out for your boy while we're out there. If we see him, we'll send him back to camp."
