mesoko is his rl friend i think, and i know he too has some typical teenage life sucks issues.  I try to tell him not to be so down on himself, adn that this is the worst time of his life.  he said he knows, and that he is starting to feel like one of the guild, except he said, he knows dread hates him, (lol) but everyone else seams to be ok with him.  I said that i thought he is growing on the group, and is mor elike that little brother that is annoying form time to time, and fun to pick on (chris you know, lol) but he is part of our group, and not to worry too much.  

I dont know what is so bad in their lives, but i think it is typical teenage crap of not fitting in, arguing with parents, and that type of stuff.  i have no problem &quot;looking out for them&quot; in game.  They both have seamed to improve a lot more, and mesoko has lived through many more encounters than before.  I think they just needs a big hug from dread (JK)
