Now, I don’t fully agree with you on this Mariela, but to a certain extent I do. First, just because someone smirks or snorts, should not mean they should stop being, "hidden". Lets say you were playing the ever so thrilling game of hidden seek, and you just so happen to be in the market square behind a merchants stall, you giggle, snort, cough, murmuring something to yourself, ect. That does not reveal your hiding place, does it? It does not magically move the cart out of your way. You’re still hidden. If you talk, Someone says, "Blah Blah Blah." Your place should still be hidden, you haven’t moved from your "hiding spot," unless you have role-played moving from your hiding spot.If you are hidden, BE HIDDEN. If you talk or smote, it should pop you out of being hidden or you should take yourself out of hiding. You should not be able to "Smirk" or "Snort" or whatever when you are "Someone". When someone knows you are there, either go silent and "hide" or give up the chase already!
Just because someone uses the hide skill does not mean they should limit their roleplay by going silent. I think they should still be able to make small moves as long as they aren’t overly dramatic. Just because you do a few smotes doesn’t always mean someone -wants- to be heard, they are still role-playing. In some character points of view, some would rather get their information by skulking around.
I think, if someone wants to be like that, let them. It does not mean you have to acknowledge the comment, for in my opinion this is bad roleplay on the "hiders side".Someone says, "These two both should be destroyed, for toast is too good for the world. I shall wait until they leave and slay them.."

Just my thoughts, let me know if I confused things...
