Emotions are powerful things! Try though we may, it is impossible to hide true emotions and intent. Adara can sense that something about her father's death story is not quite truthful. Salidar can sense that Durrin is suspicious and angry over the Guild's denouncement. Durrin can sense that Salidar is manipulative and untrustworthy about the war and their current mission. No one has to say a word. Our true emotions act like colors, emitting vibrations for the alert receiver.
Durrin's perceptiveness has indeed grown from his years in prison---and maybe also just him getting older and more experienced. Salidar reads people excellently, though often he ascribes the wrong motives to their actions.

If Twigly is getting too annoying for Salidar to order around, shouldn't she become the high vizier by default?
Sshh . . . no spoilers for the sequels.
