Don't put your happiness in other people's hands
Taken aback by the sudden appearance of the cat, Krobin tried to resist the urge to pet it in favor of focusing on the instruction. It felt more than a little strange to apply the technique on the animal - it was so small, and he didn't want to hurt it - but like before, he shunted his misgivings aside. "Will cutting the limb off really make it bleed less?" he had to ask though, with a somewhat skeptic tone. The image of a chopped off hand spurting blood everywhere made him a bit queasy.
"Indeed, it's not," he agreed dryly, thinking back on the summoned dragon, the tricks with the snow, how his broken arm had been repaired seemingly without effort. "It's a very powerful and practical tool, then, and one I'd give a great deal to have."
Checking the tightness of the tourniquet, Korbin absently stroked the soft fur of the feline, while waiting for Loren to approve or correct what he'd done. "I... do want to know more," he admitted. "Just don't know what good it will do me, if I can't use it myself."
The analogy Loren offered made Korbin wince. It was a little too apt, and he made a rueful face. "If that's the case, then I should probably stop here and go back to doing nothing," he said. "Part of me would rather see Halo depopulated and dead before it's changed from the way it is now... No doubt I'm just as much a stubborn fool as those patients."
Not something he was really proud of, but the resistance was still there in him.

They'll drop it
