Nick and the Hero were both very experienced people, and they could convey a lot of information with just a few words.
Talking for a long period was dangerous since there were other Heroes present as well, and it was important that they remained as inconspicuous as possible.
After just exchanging these couple of words, the two of them stopped talking.
They didn't need to talk more for now.
Both sides had a solid reason for cooperation.
Nick couldn't kill any human since that would just make the Maw kill him, and the Hero couldn't afford to kill Nick since his death would have no benefit but a lot of risk.
Because of that, a unique team between a human and a Specter was created.
Nick had several more questions, but gaining the answers wasn't worth the risk of being exposed.
Sadly, that meant that Nick couldn't find an answer to these questions immediately.
