To someone who heard and saw virtually everything, Declan and Aoba's attempts at polite whispers were quite audible, but Xur said nothing and merely observed. When askance was limited to the maps, he considered a little more thoughtfully, nodding once in agreement.

"Take care then. I'll be in contact shortly," the Jovian dismissed them gently, raising his head a bit to nod to another person waiting to trade, standing the acceptable distance away. The Titan nodded and waved Aoba along with him, taking his time walking out.

"I don't know how long he might take...But if he says shortly, he means it. Maybe a couple hours. Want to do anything, meanwhile? There's all sorts of food here, and there's going out into the Reef, too. Or we can just sit at the outpost and watch ships go by," he smiled, shrugging it off. He had nothing in particular planned that couldn't wait, after all. Any time spent with Aoba was well spent.
