When he did look behind him to see the mage gone, there was a brief audible growl of annoyance before he turned his ire to more productive action. Tracking the other man down would be a waste of time, especially given he was relatively certain he hadn't gone all that far. If that assumption proved false, it wasn't as if he couldn't find him again. And he wouldn't give him the same trust as he was giving him now.

Thus instead of allowing Khadgar's obvious little temper tantrum to interrupt him, he turned his attention to the cave itself and inasmuch as he could given his physical handicaps, set about to cleaning it out and making it more livable until proper accommodations could be arranged. If that meant that finding certain items would require questioning him, well, it was a petty form of revenge for the small amount of worry he'd been put through, but at least it was a harmless enough form of it.
