Sike did not engage with the other two's conversation; he could of course discern the underlying meaning in Dvanch and Bellamong's words. They wanted to unify their approach to tackle the pressure from the Caucasus. The visit to Ugru to negotiate with Komer was Bellamong's suggestion, and Sike agreed with some of Dvanch and Bellamong's viewpoints. However, for him to threaten the Caucasus with the most aggressive stance was not something he was willing to do.
