Surface Thoughts:
Surface thoughts align. His mind touches on Elizabeth. You see pieces of armor, some disdain mixed with respect.
Deeper Thoughts:
Walleh: "Damn that woman, leaving me with the ritual. Would have been a good opportunity... we need Aard/Lore/Dragons/Tural's shsee eal]]). But I have the key- the Mind Reaver should not have trouble collecting it. A success for the cause is welcomed."

Surface Thoughts:
Walleh: The man's surface thoughts are of pain. "I was... so lost. What would have become of me without fate? How would I have gone on without certainty? The power to make my wishes reality."
Deeper Thoughts:
Riga also catches glimpses of a point of view. Sitting in a neat laboratory, a very sterile environment. Pain, so much pain, but then... A sudden relief, a release from anxiety.

Deeper Thoughts:
As Riga pries deeper into Walleh's mind, trying to extract every bit of information, she latches onto one thing. Shattered Guardian. Her magic wraps itself around it, draining any context that may be gained. What she finds is a mountain of malachite so grand it encompasses the world (see The Wandering Shard ?).
Your concentration is forcefully broken.
