Gauss didn't ask out of mere curiosity; his heart was indeed intrigued.
In this desolate wilderness, the other party hadn't communicated with his companions yet; he simply reached into his clothes with a look of extreme satisfaction on his face.
Has anyone ever told him he is not very good at hiding emotions?
It's as though he's just shy of writing "I have a big secret" on his face.
Noticing Gauss's gaze shifting towards his map, Felix's heart skipped a beat even though it was obscured by a layer of clothing.
He immediately withdrew his hand.
He still comforted himself internally, thinking about how he and the man before him hadn't had any conflict, not even having met until today.
The man might've simply come to scout the vicinity of the temporary camp, coincidentally encountering a few of them.
Although it was strange for the adventure group's leader to conduct personal reconnaissance of the camp's environment, it's not entirely impossible.
Relax, relax...
