KORBIN
Remember when I swore
That you and I would never die
That you and I would never die
Fourth? That was a whole heck of a lot. Too many for him to even comprehend, he who had barely seen three regions of this very continent. Who vastly preferred to stay within this single small region, snow-choked and hostile but oh, so beautiful in its stark ferocity.
Korbin was startled, and it showed. He had to close his mouth on all the questions, remind himself that he didn't care - oh great, he was back there again? - and actively looked away, scanning the room for things to do that might distract him from the young woman and her questions, her untold story. Unfortunately for Korbin, there was nothing to do at the moment. So he had little choice but to read her next question - especially since she practically shoved the paper back to him, making their hands bump.
Korbin calmly withdrew his, and reached for the rag he had used to wipe the counter. Folded it, stealing a moment to gather himself. Then he looked up at her, a bit wary. "You could," he said slowly. "Are the rooms provided by the Warden not to your liking?" A neutral question, loaded with implications depending on what she answered.

Remember when you swore
we had it all?
we had it all?
