KORBIN
Remember when I swore
That you and I would never die
That you and I would never die
He really wouldn't like the comparison... but it's possible that she was right. He would work himself to collapse if he could. And be happy doing it. It was perhaps a bit twisted, but Korbin hadn't felt so good in a long while. Personally. Like, obviously he was devastated by the pain and suffering of everyone around and angry and shook.. but he also thrived in this madness. Here he knew exactly what to do, had his priorities straight, and leaped into it without hesitating.
Meeting Weaver's gaze without wavering, he considered her challenge seriously. "No," he replied. "I'm saying that you can step down, if you're not sure you'll do this whole-heartedly and of your own free will."
Scraping up the last bits of food from the bowl, he cleaned off the plate as well, and dumped them both onto her table. Reaching for that whiskey bottle, he stole her glass and poured a small shot for himself. Rolling it between his hands, he watched her back, calm and steady. If she searched him for doubt, Weaver would found none. Only trust and loyalty, just as he always offered.
"But if you're sure this is what you want, then I'll stand with you. Every step of the way." He just didn't want her to do something she hated, out of some misguided notion that no one else could fill her spot.

Remember when you swore
we had it all?
we had it all?
