Johnny turns around, jumps, and looks at the merchant man. "Look sir, I'm only trying to help you and your dear old mum here. I was going to make soup, warn you of the raid thats going to happen, and take you to a safe place. So please stop trying to kill me, if you want to survive." Johnny turns back to the kitchen and says "ma'am, do you have any meat? More meat will help this soup from sticking."
