Ralph was slightly annoyed at the intern's request.
Search for a security guard? he thought,
What is this place; surely they can just go ask the boss if they really need security!
Nevertheless, he wasn't expected to run this errand yet anyway, although he doubted that he would do it at all.
He narrowed his eyes as Praetyre started going on about "confidential."
"Every word you say makes me trust you a little less than I already did," he growled slightly. He walked over to the other mudokons as Praetyre went whispering something in the intern's ear.
He said in a low voice, "Whispering always means something not right is around... I don't know about you two, but I think I'm leaving this room as soon as possible."
He looked at the door, "With or without animals out there..." and started walking towards it.
EDIT: Forgot about Patrick Vykkers post
As Ralph headed towards the door, he suddenly stopped as he heard Arrack shrieking. He turned around and pointed his arm at the doorway into where Arrack was as if it was some sort of weapon, holding his palm facing forwards. Then he stood absolutely still, at the ready for whatever would happen...
