While Siegfried is not by any means, an uncultured man (though he may be in Aglovale's eyes) he still finds himself looking warily at the spread before him. As much as he believes that poisoning is below Aglovale's stature, he can't really rule it out. He touches neither the food nor drink just yet. Siegfried would more readily eat a Centiwatcher than any of Wales' lavishness because he had most likely killed the Centiwatcher by his own hand.
He ponders Aglovale's question, really considering how there really isn't much that escapes him. His statement already covers all of Siegfried's normal excuses, which means the other man has been tracking him for sometime. This interest is so unusual and he wants to get to the bottom this, not just for his own safety but for the safety of Lancelot, Percival, Vane and everyone else in Feendrache.
He's impressed at Aglovale's thoroughness but it also makes trying to outmaneuver him really difficult. Siegfried didn't plan for this in the slightest, or rather his plans didn't involve being escorted to the Wales castle and being personally interrogated by his majesty himself.
And that's when he sees something, a small sliver of his way to maneuver this situation.
"If I may pose my own question to you" begins Siegfried as he looks at Aglovale straight in the eye. "If you find me to be such a threat, why send your personal guard to find me and question me like this instead of eliminating me where I stood? I am but one old warrior, after all. My stamina only lasts so long."
