KORBIN
Leave my loneliness unbroken!
- quit the bust above my door!
- quit the bust above my door!
The raven caught the gesture, saw the trap, and kept the hare so distracted as it ran that the creature never noticed it. Through some miracle or mercy, it ran straight into the trap, and Korbin swept up, rising higher into the air on frigid winds, to circle over his sister as she tended to the catch.
He took no pleasure in the kill. Never had, never would. Especially not now, after... But that was something he had yet to tell Weaver, and to be honest, he dreaded it. Had pushed it off for a long time, until the memory began haunting his dreams and woke him sweaty and trembling in the dead of night. He had to talk about it, had to...
But not yet. It could wait just a little bit longer. For just a little moment, he wanted to try and pretend that everything was the way it always had been.
Only once the hare was dead did he come back down, to shift back into himself - gods, he wished he could stay a raven and never have to land again - and help clean the catch.

Quoth the Raven,
"Nevermore."
"Nevermore."
