After a moment's pause, one of the women holds out a hand for the knife. As soon as she has it, she gets in position near Jon, and the rest follow by forming a line in-between Jon and Ratonhnhaké:ton. Even though they stay huddled together, it's a long line, and he doesn't entirely like the thought of relying on Jon to know what happens behind them all.

A part of him wants to stay put and memorise some of the guards' paths, but there's no guarantee no one will come in here, and so he gets moving as soon as he neither hears nor sees anything. He'll retrace their steps, even if it might be farther than other paths, if only because he knows for certain that leads out.
