Roland does not allow himself to stare. It's bad, he knows it is, whatever is going on inside the Signless' mind now, but he can use it. It's making Signless come closer with, to all appearances, not much thought as to why, and that is all Roland needs right now.
He puts it away, his worry and his guilt and all of it, setting on an out of the way shelf inside his mind to take a look at later, if there is a later for the three of them. Like the Psiionic, he expects without thinking that there is going to be one.
The thing to do here is to try and get a good enough grip on the Psiionic's arms that it looks as if the other man might be grabbing him instead. He does not expect, troll or no, that the other man could really push Roland anywhere like that, but it won't hurt to make the whole fight look that much more confusing. He tries to turn, too, wanting to get them both inside the doorway of that empty little house.
"Signless!" he calls as he tries it, for good measure, because if he doesn't decide to follow the two of them, or if he drops before he can, there's no point in any of this.
