    Summary

    Just a short claw-length away, another hermit crab stares back at him. A male. His pheromones drift on the current.

    This one is smaller and slimmer, shell so pale it almost seems carved from moonlight. With a body that's translucently white, the faint workings beneath his shell are just barely visible. A pump of blood rushing fast and erratic. Red eyes gleam at Gale, wide and startled.

    Along the back of this pale one's carapace runs a thin, healed crack, discolored and jagged like an old fault line in stone. It tells a story of pain, when safety could not be found, when something vast must have crushed down upon this poor crab and ignored his shell.

    Or what passes for a shell. Because this hermit crab seems to be in a similar predicament to Gale.
