KORBIN
And round about his home the glory
That blushed and bloomed,
That blushed and bloomed,
Try, he said, but hadn't Korbin already stated that it work? Who would pay to hear him play? Who would take time from their busy lives enough times to even give him the chance? Loren seemed to think people would be eager to, but the young raven couldn't really share the optimism.
And doing both? He sighed, and sat up. Dragged his hands through the dark hair, and leaned an elbow against a knee. "You make it sound so simple," he said, a bit dryly. "I don't know if you noticed, but life is a bit more lax here than it is in Halo. Half-measures is a good way to get yourself killed."
Yet the notion wouldn't quite let go. He'd been offered a job in the infirmary. Had waved it off without taking it seriously, but... If he took the healer up on that? If he could set something up at the Kraai too? People already gathered there...
It was a wild thought. Felt crazy, impossible, uncomfortable as he'd have to ask for more than one favor, but...
He breathed in deep, tried to push the notion aside. Leave it in the sand, let it go, before it took root.

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