Ryan stared at the new girl who had apparently been wandering the same road as each of the others. [i]Note to self... Roads aren't clear yet... Pretty far from it, actually[/i] He glanced to Carter who had apparently opted out of taking the crowbar, and simply put his arm down. He began to think over everything that happened, noting that Carter and Clover were obviously more focused on the other two than him. [i]At least they finally know I'm not here to hurt anyone... I'm just glad they aren't either...[/i] He watcher Clover angrily go towards the car, sitting down on it and attempting to ignore the others. [i]Like a little kid that doesn't get their way... Guess she is kind of a little kid, despite all of this...[/i]

Ryan looked back to Carter as he suggested everyone state their name and a little about themselves. It seemed like something from middle school, was it an attempt to calm Clover down while also finding out about their intentions? Or was it a simple coincidence that he was debating as if it were a possible conspiracy? He glanced to who he now knew as Nikko as he explained details about his past. When Nikko mentioned a large amount of meat, Ryan almost grabbed his stomach as he thought about how hungry he actually was, living off of maybe a can of food a day had lead to not expecting to eat much, but the simple idea of all the food that was there partially returned his old habits. He looked to Carter as he asked who was next. 

"Like I said a bit ago, I'm Ryan... I just graduated high school and I was going to go to college. I worked on the nearby farm from time to time for side-cash while I got ready to leave. Then something went wrong, and everyone at the college is probably dead now, so I can't exactly go anymore..." He glanced down at his crowbar, deciding to say something about how his time surviving has been going. "I haven't seen anyone for at least a month until this group appeared, I've been scavenging where I can and moving from place to place. I didn't exactly keep track, didn't think it mattered much anymore, but I thought the roads were clear, and so I decided to head out here... Apparently I was wrong... Really wrong." He looked between Carter and Clover, figuring they would have to say something as well, seeing as they were also members of this random group of people that didn't know each other and couldn't be bothered to trust each other yet.
