KORBIN
And round about his home the glory
That blushed and bloomed,
That blushed and bloomed,
Perhaps it was simply that Sunjata drew out the worst in the young raven. In a strange way, his current means of survival had become dependent on this guy for continued support of the Kraai, and since Weaver no longer hunted as much Korbin would either have to stick to the bar or find some other occuppation to sustain himself on. He disliked being beholden to people he didn't know. It was hard even to let Weaver be the sole provider for their gamily. It was a debt he hadn't agreed to or taken on by choice, and rather than place the blame on Weaver for accepting the deal, he chose to fault Sunjata for offering it in the first place.
And maybe that was another piece of the puzzle, to explain why he was so reluctant to accept anything that came from this guy. It felt like he was placing himself further in debt with no way to pay it back... because to do that, he'd have to admit to be in a weaker position in the first place.
Gods, Korbin hated his own mind at times.
"Not like I'll feeeze to death if I fall asleep out here," he pointed out, and looked up. The Arbiter's doubt about his ability to take care of himself was more than a little insulting; had he not just proved that he could put up a good fight? "I'm sure the inn is nice. I'm just as sure I'll be leaving empty handed if I were to pay the cost of a bed."
There was nothing wrong with the beach; too sandy, too warm, but at least it was free of charge.

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