The sali scoops up Monsha into their arms, a quiet "hold me" to have them grip on. They bury their head against their chest, and at the question, the sali first raises to their feet before answering:
"You shout the direction they come in. I will protect our front - scream if they grab you, kick or bite. You do everything to defend yourself, but kill. First, we get Monsha to safety."
Dealing with the trouble will come later. But there is a pause before - adjusting their arms to better hold onto Monsha with one for the moment - they extend out their arm, the one with the strap holding the blade on the inner forearm.
"Are you trained? ...Anyone can stab," they consider even before Madoka can reply. "Our goal is to the shelter. We move quick but quietly. Cause no trouble, and I will protect you."
They have an intimidating presence for one so young, but they don't speak to mess around, mean what they mean. Their gaze on Madoka stern, but also, the last of what they mean a promise.
