You've Got A Problem

the devil you know is better than the ghost you don't

Noah did not move as the raven released the emotions from the depths of his chest. He was a sentinel, standing guard over the younger attuned. He closed his eyes as sobs wracked against him, tears streaming steadily down his cheeks and into his beard. His heart twisted with sadness for the raven, for the youngest and only Hale. Noah continued to pray, to plead, even though he knew they wouldn't be heard. He didn't know what else to do. All he could manage was to hold Korbin and pray.

It seemed enough.

Korbin moved away from him, finally. Noah's tears had begun to dry on his cheeks and he breathed out a deep, long breath. He nodded to the raven, out of words for the night. He gave one last squeeze of the younger man's shoulder before he got off of the bed. "It is time we both get some rest. I'll see you after you've slept." He gave a small smile to the man. He imaged that if it were not Longnight, that the sun would just now be peaking up over the horizon. He was going to have a hell of a time getting back on track to a sleep schedule once the sun returned. Noah reached down to grab his mug, and placed it on a table. "I'm next door if you need me." He said, moving to the door to make his way back to his own bed.

He stopped and looked at Korbin again when he opened the door, a small smile again and another nod his final good-night before exiting.
