Cecily was prepared to give Satsume a verbal lashing as he raised his arm in her direction. But, when she realized what he was doing, those thoughts eased away. Given the situation, she relented to the unvoiced request. He was a lot lighter than she thought. That was not to say he was light, but certainly not as daunting of a lift than she anticipated.
When she and Paige managed to get outside, Cecily watched Satsume inquisitively as he readied himself for another fight. From having felt how much he relied on herself and Paige to move, it was pretty clear that he was not in good state to fight. Given that they had only known each other for a relatively short period of time, Cecily was impressed by Satsume's resolve. That prompted her to back him up as the newcomer pushed aside his lance.
"You can help by explaining why you came to this town," Cecily said, stepping alongside Satsume.
She did not trust these two yet. It did not seem convincing that a duo would be traveling by night and appear to conveniently rescue her companions' friends. It would not surprise her at all if they were actually Lausian assassins with a plan to cause the group to lower their guard before doing their job. Given her near death experience was how she and Satsume met, Cecily felt sure that at least her retainer understood her paranoia.
The interrogated bandit took a few moments to overcome the rather large amounts of pain that he was subjected to.
"Jeez, I haven't even started anything and this is what you do?" he moaned.
The expressions he received quickly changed his tune. "Okokok, please don't. Hux is me name. We've been, uh, taking travelers for our own..."
