Huh. Humans are really un-observant, then. Not noticing that someone can't hear, wow.
Anyway: "Kobolds do body language-ing. We watch, we see people think, feel, want. People watch us, see we see, see we know, see we choose doing things. Do wanted thing, people happy. Do other thing," shrug, "people other thing. Politics."
(Of course it's more complicated than that - in a good-sized group like a kobold tribe there's rarely going to be that kind of consensus about anything beyond the basics. But that's a matter of tradeoffs and making sure that nobody gets the short end of the stick too often; the general principle still holds.)
