Silent Draw Offer at the Highest Level

So I was watching the Ruy Lopez Rapid Championship 2019 game between the Norwegian and the American Nakamura. Magnus was Black and had a screwed up pawn structure but possessed the Bishop pair. Hikaru had granite grip on the c4 square with his Horses since the Horse could NOT be driven away by Black pawns. Carlsen had put his tower/rook at a spot that would straighten out the pawns if the best player in the United States ever decided to capture the  tower on square controlled by one of the Norway star's doubled pawns. So the two dudes agreed upon mysterious draw where the spectators present observed no draw offer!!

Sunil's son had just  moved his lady to the corner square a1 and a draw was agreed upon with no clear verbal offer by Nakamura. So do these stud chess players practice better non verbal communication better than most females?!!

Chris Voss knows all about this in the world of business negotiations. Nashama Mohamed relates it to helping those afflicted with Big Phrama's dream malady Aspergers. Yoshihiro Nishiaki connects it to cavemen in a paleontology backdrop.
