[RINZLER]
Rinzler stood with his head against the wall, he was trying so hard not to crawl into High Priestess Manne's chamber. The picture of his head on the pillow seemed like hallelujah. He was lost, sad and tired. And if he hadn't been, he would have heard Manne's heart beating like a drum.
"I can't find Beta Shark, can you please take over for me at the gate?" He asked, his voice barely a whisper. One thing was for sure, if anyone asked him to return to the gate, two funerals would be on their way.
"Alpha Rinzler, are you okay?" High Priestess asked the obvious.
"Yes, I am fine," Rinzler replied, one of the common universal answers anyone gives whenever asked if they are okay. Of course, the person asking always knows the other one is not okay but still, asks.
"Do you want to come in, Alpha Rinzler?" Asked the high priestess with a voice so sweet.
He shook his head, "thank you. Handle the gate for me, will you? And please call me if Marina returns and I am not here."
