KORBIN
Leave my loneliness unbroken!
- quit the bust above my door!
- quit the bust above my door!
He had a distinct feeling that he was being toyed with. Korbin was convinced that the fox was not a regular animal, which led to a few possible conclusions. Either it was a spirit, some enchanted beast, or another Attuned. And of the three, the last was by far the most plausible - and honestly, the most annoying. The fox might be in a playful mood, but Korbin was not. As evidenced by the feathering jaw muscles and the way his gaze grew harder and darker with every passing moment.
The flopping fish was the last drop. It was not natural. Fish didn't do that, not here, not like this. And the fox's seeming suggestion that he should obey its instructions really did not earn it any brownie points.
The irritation that had built up like a prickling tension under the skin burst from him in a rush of black feathers. Shifting even as he got to his feet, he was aloft and speeding towards the fox in a heartbeat, all beating wings, furious caws and pecking beak. Not really intending to hurt the other - animal, spirit or attuned, it didn't matter - but definitely with every intention of driving it off.
He was in no mindset for games. For company. For anything but being swallowed up by the empty expanse.

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