KORBIN
And round about his home the glory
That blushed and bloomed,
That blushed and bloomed,
Korbin's attack connected, and he felt the usual thrill of satisfaction and guilt turn his stomach. In this, he was glad he couldn't hear any grunts or winces from his friend; it made the whole thing worse.
This exercise was in essence about maintaining balance and trying to fell the opponent. Whoever dropped first would be at a clear disadvantage, and so Korbin focused on upholding his center of gravity. He made sure to recover his stance in time to meet Noah's next attack, and planted both feet firmly as he leaned into the shoulder that came shoving his way. When the heavier man tried to capture his legs in his own, Korbin made sure to step out of the hooking feet.
In retaliation, he tried to stomp down hard on Noah's instep, and shoved right back in the hopes that he would have greater luck in unbalancing his opponent. They were fairly well matched, but though Korbin looked thinner and reedier, there was real muscle to that lean figure, and a lot hardier than he looked.

Is but a dim-remembered story
Of the old time entombed.
