"We have to help him!" Layla insisted after finding out what Quinn was currently doing. "We couldn't do anything against that Dragon last time, so Quinn will surely need our help!"
"I don't think Quinn is reckless enough to give up his life, Layla. Besides, do you really think you can help him?" Vorden asked, his tone harsher than he had intended. "Honestly, we all have gotten stronger and I know you've been training hard, but we're already hard pressed to deal with all of the Masked. Eventually, even Raten will tire out and they will storm this castle and the rest of the areas."
The others didn't say anything. They too wanted to help Quinn, but wondered what use they would be if they headed over. Those who knew him were aware that Vorden would never abandon his best friend, so the decision to stay out of his way couldn't have come lightly.
