KORBIN
And round about his home the glory
That blushed and bloomed,
That blushed and bloomed,
This day was taking a weird turn. From perfectly good to awful and over to downright strange. Taking his time to process the offer, the reasonsings Loren responded with, the dark-haired youth took another strip of the dried meat and chewed it slowly. Considered it from every angle.
"Taking the job would mean I condone the current government," he said after a while. "Can't say that would be true though. I don't think an outlander should sit alone as Warden of Halo, no matter if he's good at the job or not. And I don't know that he is. It's been... what, two years, since your brother came here? And I've not met him once."
How could someone who sat up at the Palace all day know anything about Halo? What would a person like that care about its people? Korbin left the words hanging, waiting to see how Loren might respond. Details like what the job might entail could wait; this was more important at the moment.

Is but a dim-remembered story
Of the old time entombed.
