He wasn't trying to be fair. But then, he hadn't really meant to be an ass to her either, and her defense was met with a sigh. Korbing dragged a hand across his face, shoulders slumping as the irritation ran off him. Like water off his feathers. There one minute, gone the next.
"I just don't wanna sit watch over you again like that," he mumbled. Which was as close to both apology and explanation as she was gonna get, for this mood of his. Things were changing again, and too quickly for comfort. First the Warden, then the portals and now this sudden intrusion of new people into his life. Because Weaver could say it would be her bar all she wanted, they both knew who would end up doing the daily drudgery in the end.
"I don't know," he sighed, easing himself off the doorframe. It took only a few long strides for him to reach the bed, and he sat down next to her. Pulled a foot up after him, back hunched as he rested a chin against the knee. "Maybe stop treating me like a kid you have to take care of. You don't have to go to Outlanders if you want help, Wee, when I'm right here."
Tilting his head, he regarded her, a dark brow raised. Then reached out and poked a finger into her side.

Deep into that darkness peering, Long I stood there
Wondering, Fearing
