He should ask you right away (or once Minthara is out of earshot) what your intentions are and, if you say that you're going to help Minthara, immediately leave the group, warn the tieflings, and fight on their side. You could tell him that you're actually planning to betray Minthara (which might involve a persuasion or deception check, depending on your intention) and then he'd play along. Even if that conversation didn't happen right then - if he's there when you turn on the tieflings, there's a high chance that he turns on you and joins them. Waiting until you're at the party afterwards feels incredibly wrong.
This is completely different matter ...
We are talking here about dialogues that ARE happening in camp.
My point is that not every dialog needs to happen in camp at night - most of them probably shouldn't. Some are small things that can happen on the road as you're walking around. Some of them should happen during short rests. A few of them (like the Wyll thing) should happen immediately. And some can happen during long rests.

Right now, all of these things are happening only during long rests, which means that people that are playing as though there is some urgency and trying not to rest a lot are missing out on a lot of the group development. It also means that the consequence of an action might be temporally removed from the cause if you go a long time without long resting; it feels wrong.

I'm arguing that story moments should be spread out more to come up closer to when the thing that caused them happens - not just during long rests.
