Two Rivers Isle “Hath thou no shame? Hath thou no dignity?”

Rye listened, quiet as a mouse as Cry explained, even going as far as to quiet his breathing and steps as much as he could. It wasn't intentional, merely a product of Rye's attention being focused in on Cry. Upon hearing the other was going to withhold the rankings, Rye was quickly swimming with questions. The male ran his tongue over his teeth repeatedly as his mind ventured to find answers of its own. Tracing the shapes of his teeth as he got furhter into thought but Rye quickly realized most of his questions wouldn't be answered. If something as simple as rankings was kept secret, then surly most of the questions wondering Ryes' mind would be kept secret. 

However, two questions stuck out as possible questions that could be answered without must protest. If they were met with resistance then Rye would, for the most part, drop the subject of Crys' pack. Why dig if you're only hitting rock, Rye mused.
"If I may ask, why do you keep ranks secret?"
