He keeps an eye on her until she visibly reacts, and then turns and walks out of the hut into the rising dawn.
(She's not fooling him, but he continues to act as if she is.)
From inside the hut she can probably hear him talking softly, familiarly to someone in the same gentle tones he usually uses. She'd be forgiven in thinking he was discussing the loan of a sandspeeder. When she does come outside she'll discover a small herd of banthas working through the sparse vegetation around his hut.
One of them, an aged female with massive double curled horns, is standing patiently while Ben slings a few supplies over her back. She has her head turned towards him, but when Ibani emerges she turns her head in that direction and gives a low bellow.
Ben glances over.
"Yes, this is the one. Her name is Ibani and she's visiting for now." It's a statement that offers no argument. "Ibani, come and meet Dolo, she'll be taking us to Mos Eisley."
