More than anything, he wants to tell the two of them to get away, but the men are advancing on them, arrows readied, rifles pointed in their direction and Mathias rushes to the edge, then partway down the path. "Julie!" he calls, holding out his hand toward them. He'll find a way to get them all off, but they'll just have to be more diligent, they'll have to keep watch until someone else gets close. "John! Come this way. They're all over the place, they'll shoot you."
As if to drive this point home, the man with the rifle shoots into the ground near John's feet, then starts shouting at them in a language Mathias still can't recognize. All this time and he's never bothered to find out what it is they're speaking.
