Ryan glanced to Faeron, a lot of the fear in his eyes still there. Raven pulled him away from the aggro zone, so he could relax for a minute and talk. "You don't get it though... Who else is going to stay a tank, through this? You can level other skills instead, get new equipment and change roles whenever... I know there'll be a few... but we'll likely be the ones dying first." He looked at the ground, sheathing his axe. He started breathing as slowly and deeply as he could while standing still. [i]I have to clear my mind... If I keep thinking like that, I'll end up getting myself and others killed too quickly.[/i] He took one last deep breath before looking up at the others, "As long as we're in a group, we'll be able to take on the next area's monsters... That's how it always is in MMOs... The first few areas are easy enough when your level is equal, or when your lower and in a group, we should be able to move on now... Where's Karen?" He looked around, making sure to check the upper-left of his screen to see if her name was still there. [i]She hasn't left the group yet... Is she not coming with us to the next town?[/i]

Ryan looked at the others in the group, "You guys decide what we're doing, I'm going to send her a message." He swung his arm downwards, bringing up the menu. He went to the section containing his party and sent Karen a message. 
[hider=Ryan to Karen] Hey. We're all out in the fields, might be heading to the next town soon, where are you?[/hider]
