Beltin does his best to be a gracious guest. When the subject of heading south is breached, he tells him that as soon as it warms up enough for them to take some horses, he'd be glad to go searching, but for now they were exploring the immediate area surrounding the trading post.

When the topic of Bokken's brother comes up, he will ask if he has an idea as to where his brother left to. If he's holed up with the bandits, that might prove useful once it's warm enough to go searching for them.
