That blushed and bloomed,
That blushed and bloomed,

He lay quiet for a while, trying to process this. But his question about stars drew a response from Sunjata that made Korbin cough out a startled laugh.
"Why? You hate Halo?" Turning his gaze on the Flood, he gave the man a strange look. "Besides... That sounds like an awfully romantic thing to do, and I'm not sure I would waste it on a guy. Especially not you."
There was a world of suspicion in the way he said it, and inched ever so slightly away.

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