KORBIN
And round about his home the glory
That blushed and bloomed,
That blushed and bloomed,
Not very likely, he wanted to say... but that sounded childish even to himself. The Citadel wasn't large enough to completely avoid another person forever, and Deepfrost would force everyone to endure each others presence. Making stupid vows now would only make him look foolish later.
Korbin did indeed give Loren a second. He got several, actually, and watched with narrowed eyes as the snow shifted and moved, pushed away by some invisible force. Despite himself, he felt goosebumps rise over his skin. Envy, awe, some primal fear of the unknown stirred within... but he pushed it all down. Took the time to look around and search for landmarks in the landscape.
"It does. You can let go now." Having marked one crag in the mountainside he knew from before, the raven put his back to it and walked out into the snow, in the general direction of the Citadel. "With this course, we should hit the causeway in a few hours. Don't think flying is a very good idea right now."
He didn't wait for approval; confident that his plan would work as long as they didn't veer too far off course, he just kept walking.
Still... he couldn't help himself. After a while, Korbin looked back to Loren. "What's it like? Being able to change the world around you like that?" There was a peculiar note of longing in his tone.

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