Old Hawke, of course, was not blind; he was perfectly capable of discerning the nature of the actions displayed before him.
He thoroughly understood what was transpiring right before his eyes.
Consequently, there was no need for further suspicion or contemplation over the questions currently posed.
Everyone had already made clear judgments on all issues.
Thus, under such circumstances, do we still need to question the situation before us?
Always, we know precisely what is happening in front of us.
And so, under such circumstances, Old Hawke pretends to be oblivious, as though he knew nothing about the situation.
Because sometimes, displaying too much awareness of a situation is not always beneficial.
He faces the situation unfolding before him, just one of many incidents he has experienced numerous times before.
Perhaps he already should have accepted and become accustomed to such situations, especially given the nature of the large mercenary group.
