Selten froze, and looked around to see where the speaker was. He'd been quite pleased with the way he'd stayed cool and not given anything away to that mudokon on the gates, and didn't want his cover blowing now...
"Who's there?" He tried not to sound nervous.
He heard a chuckle from above his head somewhere. He squinted up through the midday sun, trying to work out where it was coming from. "Oh, now, aren't we hasty? Let's not get ahead of ourselves... I know who you are, and that'll do for now..."
Selten backed away from the tree that the voice seemed to be coming from. "What do you want?"
"No need to be afraid. I just want to know what you want..."
Selten licked his lips, nervously, and gripped the gun slightly tighter, reassured by its weight. "Show your face, and maybe I'll tell you..."
