Jack nodded. "But they'll do great, I have faith in them."

"Right." Elias said it in a way that meant he would be giving up on them at the moment. When Ryan got down, Sam tagged him. Ryan stuck his tongue out at her and then struggled through his ten push ups. When he finished, he rolled onto his back and looked up at the sky, not finding enough motivation to get up until Sam's call brought him to his feet again. He would get revenge.

Jack rolled his eyes. "I know they will, they just need the right training."

Ray listens to the two, quiet because listening often involves being silent in order to hear.
Elias laughs, "And this is why they gave you the task and not me."
Ryan tackles Sam and the two lay laughing on the floor, the laughter caused by something Sam had said.

"I guess so." He shrugged.

Elias grins at Jack in response though he was looking at the group, calculating silently. Elias' grin falters as he looks at Ray, who had plopped themself on a branch and was hanging upside down again. The black and blue hair looked similar. Elias just had to remember from where.

Jack noticed his grin falter as he looked at Ray. "I should introduce you two." he said, motioning him to follow as he walked toward Ray.

"Please do." Elias says. Ray noticed the two coming and decided it would be best to meet them right side up and not upside down. They got down from their branch, making a small hum noise as they got a little dizzy, backing up a pace until they could lean their back against the trunk of the tree. It was something that happened sometimes when they hung upside down for too long. It soon passed, and Ray was smiling cheerfully at the two.

Jack smiled to Ray, coming up to them. "Ray, this is Elias. Elias, Ray."

"Nice to meet you." Ray says, bobbing a curtsy.
Elias nods, "Right." He seems to enjoy that word.
Ray hesitates and glances at Jack to figure out what that means, not sure how to read Elias yet.
