AtD translation: there was a sort of disconnection now in his voice

Absentmindedness

To which i would only add, Miles is habitually absent minded, because (and I think the text bears me out) there is usually more going on in his bean (noggin, squash, calabash, coconut) than he cares to mention. Chick is also aware of this, and attempts to draw Miles out.

In this case, I think the further info he goes on to reveal (his upcoming meeting with Thorn) is at least part of the reason for the disconnected tone.
