Ryan's eyes widened slightly when a threat of danger to his friends appeared. [i]After hearing that... Do I leave to keep them safe? Or do I stay here, hoping my wish doesn't fall through and end up with my friends being in danger...?[/i] He looked to the girl that he had forgotten to listen for the name of, who was also the one calling them fools. [i]My wish goes against that though... If any of them get hurt over this, I'll never be able to lose the thought that I killed them myself... Maybe I should distance myself to keep them safe? Or should I simply change who my friends are... Should I treat those who also came to this meeting as friends, knowing they'll be stronger, thus safer...?[/i] He shook his head slightly, attempting to dislodge the hold that fear for his friends seemed to have now. His wish did, after all, go completely against what this girl was saying, so of course it would be safe for his friends.

Ryan looked around at the others nearby, sighing quietly. He looked around for Qubus once more. [i]Why would a ferret be running late to their own meeting...? What else is it doing? Getting more recruits? I think it's a bit late at this point...[/i] He looked towards the 'fool' girl, wondering if she was perhaps Qubus in disguise, simply testing their resolve to follow through with this. Or perhaps she was to be a sign that it was not a lie, in case only one of them had shown up. "Sorry, but the most foolish here is the one trying to convince others not to join you and help. You've got people here willing to become allies to you, and the first thing you do is call us fools, then basically tell us to leave if we value our friends and family? Do you regret what you've become?" Though most of the time he was quiet, this time, he had to speak. He had to get the thought that this could tear each of them apart inside as soon as they join out of his head.
