KORBIN
Leave my loneliness unbroken!
- quit the bust above my door!
- quit the bust above my door!
Good, Loren showed up. Korbin had another reason to remain a bird now; it let him explain and actually talk to someone. It was interesting how the inability to hear would make him grateful even for Loren's thoughts to reach him. Not so long ago, he wanted to punch the man whenever he tried to communicate this way.
"Found this guy wandering the Fangs," he told Loren."Think he might be an Outlander. Figured you'd be the best person to fill him in on... things. I still can't hear a word he says. Translation, if you don't mind?" It would make for a cumbersome conversation, but... beggers couldn't be choosers.
Hopping in through the gate, he kept the glove prisoner until the stranger was safely inside. Then he flew up, dropped it on the guy's head and flew over to Loren in a rustle of inky feathers, to perch on his shoulder.
Clacking his beak - very unsatisfying when he couldn't hear the sound himself - the raven cocked its head and blinked at the stranger, curious despite his usual aversion to newcomers. This was the first time he came across a new arrival himself.

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