KORBIN
And round about his home the glory
That blushed and bloomed,
That blushed and bloomed,
The dragon settled in as if for a long stay, and Korbin regretted giving in to the curiosity that kept him talking. This was not going at all the way he had expected, and every response Jigano came with made him shift uncertainly, his reasons picked apart - the ones he managed to convey out loud at least.
"You're twisting things around," he accused, "and painting up a picture that's not true. I don't do anything for anyone but myself, dragon, and there's your reason. I'm not kind or helpful, I'm not caring or considerate. You won't get anything out of knowing me."
And if the man thought Korbin was fishing for compliments, well... it was rather the opposite, really. It would be great if they could all just agree that he was not worth being around; then they could go their separate ways and never bother the other again.
Korbin felt that it was important to get that across now, or the guy would no doubt be back in Flowerbirth and they'd have to go through this all again.

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