Ash was trying to warn gregar of these guys being untrustworthy without actually them noticing. So he did the posturing about his mother (which, frankly, being a whore, nobody would've known about). Ash is also playing with him being a familiar face to them so the likelihood of him talking well about them is credible. But Amber's speech might seem more fishy than Ash, even. They might have recognized her too, given how much they stared at her. [b]And then Jovan raises his hand, accuses them of bullshit and undoes ash effort to try and lull the mercs into a false sensation of security while at the same time warning gregar.[/b]

Edit: Pretty much what [@Partisan] said.
