Trahearne really had his hands full with this pushy arybar. He didn't like having to move past a polite refusal, but even being brusque just wasn't working this time, and he had no idea how to even explain himself to a complete stranger. It was just as he was considering just taking off running that Sheena came over to interrupt him.
For the first few seconds, Trahearne looked a bit overwhelmed, until he could remember just why she looked so familiar. He'd gotten glimpses of her around the Bridge, so she had to be another of the Dreamfolk. That made him relax considerably. Perhaps he couldn't get many words in edgewise either, but he was at least trying to play along by making hums of agreement and throwing in comments about how impressive the show was.
When the now-frustrated arybar finally turned away and left, Trahearne breathed a sigh of relief. "You have my gratitude. Some people simply don't like taking 'no' for an answer."
