Elian felt a cold chill run down his spine as Edward tapped his shoulder lightly, asking him to introduce himself to the team.
Elian manned up to the occasion, he was going to do something out of character right here. If he tried to be timid, then he would be spelling future trouble for himself.

Elian took a step forward, staring at their eyeballs. This was the moment of truth, and he desperately hoped his voice wouldn't fail him.
"Come on, you've got this." Meta said, with an encouraging chuckle.
