KORBIN
Remember when I swore
That you and I would never die
That you and I would never die
Korbin nodded. "We might have to, if there's a shortage of firewood," he pointed out. "But I'll set up a group to look in on the storage rooms. We need to see what can be salvaged from the infirmary too... I'm afraid it won't be much. You might want to hold Loren back from other tasks for the time being. His healing magic will be needed more than ever." He frowned at having to say it, but it was true. Without the herbs and medicines, Korbin's own use was minimal, and if the stores of the town healers were damaged too, they might be in trouble. People would always get sick, that was just life.
He watched her play with the knife, and smiled wryly at the old gesture. He'd always thought it was a strange safety-blanket... It just showed how much strain she was under, if Weaver resorted to it now.
"You could make use of Neron outside of Halo," he suggested, thinking of what she'd said about making use of every opportunity. "If he cares so much about this place, then he might be willing to serve it in a different capacity. An official exiling might be a good cover if he were to, say, gather information on other regions." An idiot the former Warden might be, but he might be a useful idiot and take his destruction elsewhere.
"You might want to get in contact with the leaders of the other regions, and let them know exactly on what charges you're exiling Zariah, if that's what you end up doing" he suggested. "That might minimize the influence she gets beyond our borders." He did not suggest using her as a spy; Korbin didn't think the woman could be trusted, or controlled. The idea of that much power roaming free was terrifying, but they just couldn't keep her here. The people would never tolerate it.

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