Just then his disciples returned and were surprised to find him talking with a woman. But no one asked, 'What do you want?' or 'Why are you talking with her?' — the disciples' surprise at Jesus' transgressive conversation contrasts with their restraint from questioning. John notes the cultural violation without commentary, allowing the revelation itself to redefine propriety. The absence of their challenge suggests gradual transformation of their perspectives.
