His fingers come to rest on her thigh, and she does not move him away, but lifts her leg just enough to engage with the touch. ”Did you miss the part where I said I was difficult?” she asks with a grin. ”Difficult, stubborn, impulsive, rude, drunk, lazy…” she says, ticking off the adjectives on her fingers. ”The list of my bad qualities is rather long. Ask my brother, and he’ll have far more, I’m sure.” Gods, does she actually want to know what Korbin might say in response to that question? Probably not.
”Precious?” Her fingers reach out to pluck another piece of fish and pop it into her mouth. She chews, mostly, before continuing. ”Hearts in Halo are made of ice and snow, as cold and hard as the place they come from.” Which was perhaps somewhat true. They did care in Halo, quite a lot, but they were a hard people. They were a people that did not cry over someone’s death; they were a people that did not break easily. Though they did break. Korbin was evidence of that.
”I suppose I should be more worried about protecting your heart. Is it as warm and soft and lovely as Torchline? It is a joke, given the rumors she’s heard of this place, but still, perhaps there is some truth to the theory. She doesn’t know enough of this place to be certain.
