Yusuf looks over because of the quiet. He's known Eames for--Christ--for years, now, and while he's never worked with Arthur before this, he thinks he knows the type. They needle each other because they can, trying to get under the other's skin. They never get loud, really; that draws too much attention. But they do get sharp, and dangerous, and--honestly, though he'd never say it out loud--kind of petulant and really fucking amusing to watch when it's just the two of them each trying to piss the other one off first. Yusuf's mostly unconsciously taken to keeping half an eye out when Arthur and Eames get too close to each other, half self-preservation and half peanut gallery, so he notices the quiet and doesn't know what to make of it. He thinks they're talking about birds, of all things.
