The three kobolds had tried to find the other members of the dispatched team that will go to the other ogre village, but they remembered the ogres were incredibly huge compared to them and they were afraid that they wouldn't be able to start a conversation with the other ogres.
The three kobolds wouldn't be comfortable if they were to just stare at the ogres, without saying anything to one another especially when they have to constantly bend their neck upward if they even want to see the ogres face to face. So they decided to patiently wait for Matthew to finish whatever he was doing before meeting with the other members of the dispatch team.
"Where have you been, brother Matthew? Are you done with whatever you were trying to do?"
"Yup, Let's go meet the others now."
