you had a heart, it's been gone since they left you
If the sound of the spirit voice had been loud, it was still a whisper compared to the sound of the voice that spoke next. It all but shattered his eardrums in a cacophony of dischordant music, beautiful but chaotic, and Korbin flew up on his feet.
He stared at Sarfin, too overwhelmed to really say anything at all. The raven liked the sound of his own voice and rarely found himself lost for words, but... now they had scattered, like so many butterflies blown away by a gale. Only his thoughts were left to tuble, dry leaves adrift on a deserted street.
Then she spoke, gestured, smiled, and his own false grin faded. His relief was palpable, gratitude strong enough that the boy almost wept.
"I... uh, yeah. Luck.. bad luck, I think." He flushed, awkward at how his words stumbled over each other. This was by far the most beautiful woman he had ever laid eyes on, and he felt keenly how little his eighteen years of life really meant. Just her presence was enough to turn him weak at the knees.
"Thank you, Lady. For coming. For helping. How... Can I repay you, somehow?" All the doubts he'd had about her honesty seemed suddenly very rude and ignorant. How conceited of him, to presume anything about this goddess.
He really didn't know anything.
