KORBIN
Leave my loneliness unbroken!
- quit the bust above my door!
- quit the bust above my door!
He felt the annoyance, but chose not to address it. As Korbin understood it, the decision to invite them had largely been Loren's idea, and he really failed to see why. "Can you blame them?" he asked instead, trying to keep his tone mild and unoffensive - attempting to take on his sisters way of answering with a question. "It seems an arbitrary decision." And of course, as always none of the people of Halo had been consulted before it was finalized.
The request did startle him. About to take off to follow the goose out of the forest, the raven paused on the branch, surprise leaking through the bond. A protest of 'why me' begged to be offered, but at the last moment, something Weaver said came to mind. Wait. Find the advantage in everything. And while he couldn't see it right away... Korbin had to admit that having those outsiders in his debt might be a far sight better than just whining about their presence.
"Alright," he agreed instead, surprisingly without complaint. "I can do that. I'm sure you'll be paying me well for the job, too." The latter part came out just a bit teasing as he took to the air and followed up through the canopy.
Business was business, after all. Korbin would never work for free.

Quoth the Raven,
"Nevermore."
"Nevermore."
