In Chapter 4 Kris is specifically trying to hide the fact that they took the ThornRing off Noelle from us. They'll let Noelle talk until she's about to mention that.
Giving Noelle the ThornRing is what they want to avoid. Maybe it's because they know she needs the ThornRing to cast Snowgrave, maybe it's because of the "Trance" effect, maybe it's some Prophecy bullshit. But that's what they're most worried about.
