And round about his home the glory
That blushed and bloomed,
That blushed and bloomed,
"Which is why I don't like new people," he said with a wry smile. Fully aware of how contrary and difficult he was acting. But the grumpiness had been accepted as part of the deal, so Korbin wouldn't apologize for it.
"If it was that simple, I'd have walked away already," he sighed. Pulling a hand from the pocket, he shoved long fingers through the messy mop of hair, further tousling the dark strands in a hopeless tangle. "But she's my sister. I'm the only family she's got, and she's mine. If I abandon her, what's left?"
The revelation seemed like it was a dramatic one. There was a beat of silence as Korbin processed it. "So?" he said, after a while. "What's that got to do with anything?" The look on his face was nonplussed. He'd heard a bunch of stories about the barrier and the lands within it, but it was a rather distant thing. Something to sing about in the taverns at LongNight, that's all.

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