The miming is efficient enough to get the message across, and it's not like Reaper intended to leave them gagged and absolutely useless. He still needs information and getting it from these two who are clearly members of the Legion would be the quickest way.

With War in their near vicinity, however, he's careful not to simply start hacking away at all their restraints. He goes for the gags first, starting with Rokk, the much more animated of the two.

"We need to move from War's area of influence," he says, seemingly ignoring Lyle's attempt to lock-pick himself out of the restraints. Judging by the bruises, Reaper can't really blame him, but he's not willing to add more to the the 'people that can turn on him' list without getting a better feel for their state.

"The longer we stay, the likelihood of us turning on each other rises."

Quickly assessing their states, he makes sure they're not going to simply try to strike him or use a weird power he doesn't know about right off the bat. The fidgety one working on the cuffs grabs most of his attention, but given their situation, he doubts they'll attack the people that saved them. As long as the restraints aren't indestructible, he figures they could be easily snapped apart.
