Helgrim rarely enjoys being old, but pretending not to hear arguments around him is one thing he savors. He does not respond to the back-and-forth at all, seeming oblivious in studying the insides of the room.
He mutters a few dwarven curses under his breath as they all move out again, but keeps his own counsel. Instead, he takes up his shield and follows Vairar, moving ahead if possible to be the first line of defense.
