KORBIN
And round about his home the glory
That blushed and bloomed,
That blushed and bloomed,
There was a tug of reluctant amusement at the reaction, the exaggerated shock, and he was tempted to respond. Tempted but... he didn't. Just shrugged, and brushed snow off the shoulders before it could soak through his clothes.
He somehow doubted that even the blizzards would keep the Healer locked inside. The man seemed strangely immune to the cold - some magic or other, no doubt - and with no shortage of abilities. Korbin doubted he'd be able to avoid the man. Especially as they worked in the same place. If only they could keep the distance... He sighed, expression doubtful.
The exuberant gratitude made the young man uncomfortable. He shook his head as if to shrug off the thanks. "Not unless you know how to lift curses without bribing a god, no." He was not keen on the idea of going back to the shrine again. He had an ominous feeling about it, like the third time might be somehow fated or... well it was ridiculous, but there were things worse than deafness and hiccups.
But all the same... Korbin missed hearing peoples voices. Hearing his sister laugh... even nag at him.

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