Pahe, the Betazoid, is ill-equipped to deal with most conversationalists, let alone a commanding officer who is immune to telepathy. He’s not too good at small talk to begin with. And Nog may be letting him think he’s in hotter water than he is.
Lisck, the Vulcan, is used to Pahe over-analyzing most things, be they new strains of micro-viruses or social interactions. They are used to being the voice of reason sought when sleep is illusive.
The two of them will communicate entirely telepathically when alone, although Pahe tends to do a running side-commentary on most verbal communications anyway.
(Lisck is reading a Betazoid erotic-romance novel that Pahe lent to them. They have a strange fascination with the genre.)
