Riz cocks his head, mulling over the words in his head. "That sort of sounds like an adventuring party, the loyalty and protection stuff."

Which, Riz is absolutely already part of, and loyal to an adventuring party. But, at the same time, the Bad Kids aren't here. Riz wishes they were (except not, because if they are not here, then they are back home where they should be and from where they can get him out of here) but that is a fact he has had to accept. Would it be so bad for him to join another party in the interim? Would he be upset if the situation was reversed and, say, Adaine was here, and became part of an adventuring party with Boober and Mando. He doesn't think he'd be.

"Who would be in it? You, me, Boober? You are making Boober part of this, right?"
