Hester
Tight hold on that hope
Pity fills Hester's eyes the moment Korbin snaps his answer, the tone not hurting her as much as the idea. She doesn't understand, can't understand the loss that would make his pain, his loneliness enough to give up parts of himself.
Her hands reach out to curl around the glass automatically, though she doesn't raise it to her lips, doesn't look away from him, as he suddenly grows busy. Hester watches, confusion slowly pulling her brows together, though she doesn't interrupt, doesn't raise her voice for that. The plate set in front of her is met much in the same way the glass had been, her eyes flicking down over it before returning to Korbin.
This seems to be the end of their conversation, the food a last piece of goodwill, or perhaps a bribe to keep her from talking more. A soft sigh heaves out of Hester, as she pulls the drink and the food close. "Thank you!" She calls to his back, though she means to say I'm sorry.
Maybe she'll get the chance later.

Sometimes it could seem so cold
Do what you gotta do to cope
