KORBIN
Leave my loneliness unbroken!
- quit the bust above my door!
- quit the bust above my door!
The raven let out a croak of amusement he couldn't hear himself. Even the bird's voice was starting to sound a bit hoarse, from lack of use. "If you forget, I'll dub you senile from old age," he teased, sticking to the 'old man' joke he'd thrown before.
Korbin found that the reassurances were very welcome, and much needed this time. He had been fretting about a future void of sound, with all the difficulties it brought of communication, his passion for music aside. Just the simple matter of making a living while unable to speak... it was enormously complex.
"Can't say I'm too keen on going back to the shrine anytime soon," he grumbled. "I don't want to become thrice cursed, that feels a bit too extravagant even for me." But he was grateful for the options nevertheless. Perhaps at some point he would become desperate enough to try anyway... Just as he had been when returning the second time.
"I've been thinking about your offer... for that job?" He halted the beat of his wings and drifted on and air current, letting himself be lifted and carried by the fickle winds, dropped and jostled around - it was fun, being able to play for a bit. "Warden or no... if it still stands, I... thought I might take you up on it."
There was a fair bit of caution as he spoke, not sure Loren was still serious about the whole think. Korbin thought it could have been just an attempt to be nice... He wasn't sure.

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