"Maybe we just don't want you eavesdropping," Gale suggests with a scowl. It isn't true, what she's saying. He may not be the easiest to get along with, but Gale doesn't find reasons to be offended over nothing, whether she knows it or not. It isn't likely that she'll be around long enough to find out, though, and he doesn't need to justify himself to her, so he doesn't bother.
"If you're worried about getting lost, don't. I know these woods." She's right about his job here, but he doesn't want to give her the satisfaction of saying it outright. It's clear enough in how he hangs back now and then, pausing to let her catch up enough that he feels safe to move forward.
