"Do you think we should drop out of initiation?" Frey asked.

"Frey, what are you talking about?" Thomas stepped forward. "We have been doing great so far. We have food, we killed four Bullfrogs with no serious injuries, we found a good shelter, and now you just want to quit? Why?" Elero stepped closer with a rant bubbling up behind her neutral façade.

Coming out of a fight like that without injuries is the exception, not the rule. There are dozens if not hundreds of other groups which probably fared far better than us. Why should we risk our lives here when it is so unlikely that we are going to win?"
