Ryan frowned, hearing Riley say that they should end the trip. He agreed, but it was sad, considering they had almost all been looking forward to this for months, possibly longer. At least, that's what he believed. No matter how much he wanted to continue the trip though, he knew Riley was right. He sighed, glancing to his tent that he had set up and not even really used. [i]I guess I should start packing up my stuff...[/i] He looked back to Sky, who seemed to be very curious about their situation. He glanced to Cassandra who tried to simply say that she wouldn't believe them anyway, before returning his gaze to Sky.

Ryan began to speak up, having thought of a story, albeit not foolproof, to at least tell. "The wolf seemed weak and disoriented... It was bleeding when I saw it, too... It tried to bite me, but just missed, ripping my clothing and getting blood on it. It looks like something similar to happened to the others, which doesn't surprise me much... The blood was getting in the wolf's eye, so it's probably difficult to actually bite what you try to bite." He looked at the others, "Is that what happened to each of you as well?" He put a slight amount of emphasis on the sentence, hoping the others would catch on to his ruse. He knew it'd be too difficult to explain that he had been bitten and healed overnight, and hoped the others agreed to what he said.
