KORBIN
But what does it take to break you, to awake you?
To make you bow and spit it out?
To make you bow and spit it out?
Broad shoulders rose and fell in a shrug, that brushed off her commisseration as unnecessary. It happened, it was what it was, and the people would recover, rebuild and move on. Even if Korbin wasn't thrilled about the idea of getting back on his own feet, he knew his people well enough to predict their responses. And much as he hated it, he was one of them. Wasn't he already sitting up, talking to a stranger, breathing and existing even though his life should have ended when his sister's did?
He didn't want to go on in a world without her, and yet... willing or not, his heart refused to stop beating.
"Adventures? That definitely will see you dead, yes," he responded with blunt honesty. "Don't know what your world was like, but Caido is actively trying to murder everyone who lives here. Simply staying alive is challenge enough for most people. But if you insist... I'd suggest starting with a visit to the Hollow Ground. They have a lot of outlanders there, and a guild full of people who gather knowledge. Loreseekers. Hearing what they have to say might prevent immediate death by picking the wrong flowers."
It was a drab place in his mind, lukewarm and gray, but it was greener than Halo and less brutal than Torchline. Korbin had no interest in leaving Halo, even if Chulane had suggested it, but he did have opinions on what he had seen so far.

Doesn't matter if I hate you or embrace you
Nothing makes you turn around
Nothing makes you turn around
