[ Ernesto has been keeping his eyes and ears (all four of them) peeled since the moment he was first captured. Sure, he was weak enough during the initial subduing process that he might have missed some details as he was being forcibly dragged into captivity, but who can blame a guy?
He certainly hasn't been missing much since they all arrived at the ruins bit by bit, and he definitely didn't miss that slight of hands. As someone who has been known to cheat at cards, Ernesto feels qualified to assert that might not have been the smoothest move he's ever seen, but the guards certainly didn't seem to notice it.
He's been sucking up and playing nice for the most part, but it's not because he has any more desire to be held prisoner than anyone else. So when he's asked that question, the dog-man raises his brows, gives a single wag of the tail, and asks in perfected mock ignorance. ]
What now?
[ He'll even keep his own return question vague, just in case the guards happen to overhear him. ]
