Is the idea to fortify our warrior on that hill?
Otherwise, isn't it better to stay put and keep our fortification bonus in the capital? If they declare, we cannot afford to risk an attack with just a single warrior anyway.
At any rate, they know we have fast workers for more or less instant chopping, plus they have three tiles to walk from our borders; the chance of catching us unprepared is zero so I really don't see why they would declare war.
As for diplo, I'd tell them who we've met and what we think the map looks like. None of that will be news to them, most likely, so no reason not to be open, and it might guilt them into replying with similar information.
If you know what I mean.
