Heiho, Riku here is one of the hostages and will fight tooth and nail whenever there is a chance for it, because it's already embarrassing enough that they got the drop on him, he doesn't need to be rescued on top of that. Also, since he's been a shaman-in-training at the Altar for about two months and some change, he is bound to recognize some of their kidnappers at least by looks – he isn't going to be Impressed At All.

He'll also be miserable if they really are being kept in the cold, because you can take a boy off the Island but you can't take the Island out of the boy. So yea, fellow hostages feel free to hit me here, or at plurk (iceyly)! 8D
