Well that's bad. That's not good at all! He sees the look in the kid's eyes first, that cornered animal fear, and he immediately knows they've made a mistake. Then Zafika is pushed back, and he moves to their side, hissing, "Are you okay? Get down."
As he speaks, he kneels down to the kid's level, and takes Zafika's arm to take them down with him. He wants the two of them to seem way less threatening then the two stranger adults that they are, and his voice is once again as calm and steady as he can make it.
"Hey, hey, kit'a, it's okay. Can you understand us?" he asks, gesturing between himself and the kid as if to create some kind of understanding there even if none exists.
