After finishing bandaging the wing, without injury, Noah just sat and waited. His eyes were soft as he looked down at the blue eyed raven, though his thoughts ran around his head in storms and droves and knocked against each other, taking up too much space. He was so glad to have found the Hale, to have him here now, but he was not sure what was next. Would Korbin choose to stay a raven forever, or would he eventually return to society as a man? The thoughts crashed and tumbled until, finally, everything around him and inside his mind stilled.
The raven clasped his beak gently over the hunter's finger, and the floodwaters roared. Tears spilled passed his eyelids and eyelashes, running down his cheeks without reservation. "Korbin...I'm sorry."
