KORBIN
Leave my loneliness unbroken!
- quit the bust above my door!
- quit the bust above my door!
Aaaand there went the fun. Shop talk wasn't really Korbin's idea of a good time, so he just offered a general positive vibe and let the matter drop. If Loren already was on the right track, then his job was already moot.
And maybe that was just as well, because things derailed rather quickly. No sooner had Korbin yanked at the goose than it twisted in the air, honked - which he indeed couldn't hear - and grappled at him with webbed feet. The raven was startled to be caught around the neck by them, and instinct kicked in before he could even react properly.
Being held around the neck in mid flight while speeding down towards the ground... was not good. It yanked Korbin off balance, and suddenly his wings found no traction anymore, lost all the lift. Unless Loren held on, he would drop like a stone, plummet towards the ground with a jolt of fright.

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