Korbin watched him as he joined in with the work team, and was not surprised to see that the others were less than friendly to the man.

She, who rarely even showed her face down in the Snowcloak. And Korbin knew Weaver would be rather unhappy if the guy was beaten black and blue, which might happen if this continued.
