That bit of information throws Hawke off just a bit. Though just because Valdis senses nothing doesn't mean that Evandau is in the clear. They have to be absolutely certain. With a quick nod of his head, he gestures for Valdis to step back, then gives Anton a quick smirk. "I could always stick my hand in my pockets if you'd like."

After going through the trouble of setting this up Hawke's not about to let everyone down by finding nothing. Hawke's gaze falls back on Evandau with his almost flippant grin still in place. "We're all friends here right? Friends talk to each other?" Hawke asks as he takes a single step towards Evandau.

"So I'm sure our friend here would be willing to tell us why he's executing people in the streets. Or why he would rather ran from the big bad monster than fight it. Maybe then we can talk about how to kill it." His arms cross in front of his chest, keeping them away from his weapons as he takes another step towards Evandau. It puts him in a more vulnerable position but that's the risk he as to take.
