KORBIN
Leave my loneliness unbroken!
- quit the bust above my door!
- quit the bust above my door!
They only needed one luxere to make this day worth the while. One was really all they could carry, and even that was pushing it. Once Korbin was sure Noah had seen him and received the message, he returned higher up to keep scouting, keeping keen eyes on both the tracks ahead and the surrounding areas. He was wary of other cannibals, of ursurs or wolves, but so far there were no other dangers to be seen.
Korbin worried about staying in his shift, however. It didn't seem good to leave Noah alone with his own thoughts at the moment. But while chatter could be good at times, he wondered if it would be of any use here. It hadn't really done much good for himself... just given him a place to hide from all the ugly truths.
The best they could do was just to keep going, he thought, and get back home as quickly as possible.
It was a while after that when he saw the first glimpse of movement on the horizon. A few dark spots, no more; a herd of maybe five animals, perhaps a few more, that trundled on through the snow. By that time, Korbin returned to the ground and his companion, to report what he'd seen. It would be for Noah to come up with a strategy here.

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