Aelih quickly glances behind to see the orc from before alarmingly closer, although luckily it [i]”He?”[/i] seemed to be friendly. Or at least anti-skeleton. 

Aelih gave a quick nod to Dannisus, who had just howled a moment earlier “I think so, yes.”

That said, Aelih returns to the higher priority of running from the skeletons towards the West Gate, managing to fish out a belt knife with the arm not carrying Lui. Not the ideal weapon, but better than nothing if something managed to get close.
