He assumes they either caught Aeriyon quickly or abandoned the chase. Depending on if Izerel's ruse worked or not everyone either knows the matron is dead, or knows her to be in great danger. He thinks that either scenario would bring everyone's attention back to him. Abduxuel might even be a bit upset to find he wasn't the most important priority on everyone's mind.<br/><br/>Elvas is the only one with anything at stake and it's amazing that he has help tracking down the thief. It would seem more drow to pin all blame on Elvas and turn him in as a conspirator to the former matron's assassination in hope to score favor with the new matron.  Maybe Abduxuel is scary enough and Aeriyon hated enough to inspire some sense of loyalty among allies.<br/><br/>Abduxuel is a sadist and a control freak. (like every drow matron) Even if they capture/kill Aeriyon if they don't turn him over to 'Mother Hunger' he will feel left out and still want to visit vengeance upon  Elvas. On the other hand if they do, Elvas might be rewarded.<br/><br/>As I mentioned though my preferred scry and die method uses Commune. Your evade tactics don't fool that.
