If they don't get totally scalpeled into oblivion, that could definitely work (works for me, anyway, but we'll see how Dee feels)! O:

But yeah I don't blame them for not trusting him I mean he is a hunter and all. And he DOES want to win--but he's not bold enough to just attack them out of nowhere, especially given their numbers are greater. So maybe it'll ease their worries a little that he's small and lacking in any real fighting experience?
