"Quit pissin' yourself in the mud and hurry!" Smitty hissed to Salem. "Nikang!"
Nikang nodded and quietly moved to the newcomer's side, grabbing the younger man by the shoulder same as Smitty. Together, they hauled Salem up to his feet and dragged him back against the wall, opposite of Maynette, Smitty's free hand covering Salem's mouth and Nikang's covering the kid's.
A tense moment passed that Nikang filled with silently cursing the Djute and every last shred of reasoning he'd felt loyal to them. The sound of footsteps approached the wall, followed by low muttering from the same voice that'd called out earlier. Another moment of silence filled the area.
Fucking...there's more than one. Nikang fumed. He scowled back at the wall, thinking, then turned and gave Elisa and Fessi a demanding look. He removed his hand from holding up Salem and gestured at Elisa, then at Fess and her pegasus, then up the wall. A final gesture towards Maynette and her executioner axe, and Nikang nodded at Elisa before returning his ear to the wall.
