[Eustace had also been taking a look at the Task Board, trying to adjust himself to this strange place. But it seemed that just like any world, it's rife with monsters and until he ascertains what he should do while here, he might as well try and eliminate a few to help protect the people here. It's also a good opportunity to test and make sure his weapons are still functioning properly.
Thus it just so happens that he's standing next to Amaya and looking at the same hunt (really, he's considering taking all of them) when he hears the woman clear her throat. He had been aware of her presence but had made little acknowledgment as he had seen no reason to. As they are the only two currently here, he can only assume she's trying to address him, so he looks over at her at with his usual, cold silence.
What?—is what his eyes seem to say. Given where they're standing he can take a guess it's something about these hunts, but other than that he's not going to make an assumptions.]
