[@KatherinWinter] Yes. He assumes if she wants to go down, she'll ask. He's a gentle-erm, wolf person after all? :P

Also, if you happened to be confused on the necklace or especially the question of can she hear the noise of him kicking his feet. You can decide whether or not she heard the rock going down the steps or Bastian kicking the wall with some force. Because I can do either answer and it will possibly effect future posts. I leave it ambiguous for you to decide. :3
