Seems about right. My thoughts, expressed ooc for simplicity:
We need more data on what is going on. This is, from Bayar's pov, a survival mechanism akin to scouting.
Secondly, we need a workable plan to counter the shadow trees, or equivalent. While Bayar is happy enough to hit things until they stop moving he subconsciously recognises this as a short term solution only. Taking too many physical risks will eventually lead to disaster. This Borne bloke reckons he knows what is going on, so diverting for a few days is perhaps not too bad a deal. Especially if we can get an 'optimised' and speedy route out of it.
Really, it comes down to find and know thy enemy!
