Weyr Life Drabbles: Prompt word #78: "Disease"

As the dragons' keen echoed across the Weyr for the fifth time since sunset, Sh'gall flinched. For the fifth time.

Kadith, how fares the Weyr?

Three of every five riders have sickened. Holth and Leri are keeping the healers informed

And... Orlith? Moreta?

Orlith wishes no distractions. They are together, fighting this... disease.

Sh'gall resumed his pacing back and forth along the length of Kadith's weyr, trying to clear his head, stifle his paranoia. He wasn't ill, couldn't be ill, mustn't be ill.

Sh'gall?

"I'm fine!"

He reached out to Kadith with hand and mind, and... somehow, missed.

Sh'gall? Sh'gall!
