Gehrman immediately realized the man was a hunter, just like him; the mask, the weapon he put away, his knowledge of Dolls, it all matched up. He turned to look at the man with intense eyes. He had no reason to keep his guard up around him, since he would have already attempted to kill him if he were seeking that from the beginning. While he doesn't outright hate other hunters, he has strong disdain for them. There's been bad blood between him and the church of hunters ever since he was outright kicked out, refused access to the church's library, and made a laughingstock due to his unique view on his job.

"Most likely. I'll have you know the Doll is my prey, and mine to hunt alone."

Seeing a fellow hunter was one thing. Seeing a fellow hunter talk of how he'll handle the Doll on his own was another. Even if his knowledge on Dolls was low, hunting was a sport appreciated better in [i]teams[/i]. However, that was during a time where he and his father would engage in fox hunts. These were Doll Hunts. Perhaps the rules are different.

"Alright, suit yourself. Think you have it patted down and-" That's when the lasers burst from the Doll. "SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT!" Gambol fired nails blindly at Nuul, more than likely missing the target, as he ran for cover. As he leaped into the bushes, a laser hit him on the ankle and he fell into the bushes, its branches cutting into his skin. As the Doll put it, he'd be a dead man if he wasn't swift, so he got up, risking [i]more[/i] cuts and scratches. He grunted in pain and listened to Eren's offer. He was more than willing to accept it, but then something came up:

Nuul mentioned "Puppeteers". His time training to be a Hunter was brief, so it contained the gist of what he was fighting. Not once in his training did he come across "Puppeteers" or "Marionettes". 

"Wait, I'm confused here. Aren't [i]you[/i] lot supposed to be puppets or marionettes?" As a sign to Eren that he's willing to cooperate, he put his weapon away, even taking out the nails in its chamber and putting it in his pocket for good measure as he began to step away from the house. He held his hands up to Nuul. "Forgive me, I'm new to the hunting business."
