Sounds pretty good to me. That will giva good reason for Ryuuga to interact with the group and eventually "joins in" informally. Something along the line he's shaking his head as he watched the group going nowhere and asked the straight up; You have no damn idea where you're going aren't you? If the shadowed land was as complicated a place as the Glast Heim that Melisa mentioned then they gonna need a guide. Ryuuga can be that.
