KORBIN
Remember when I swore
That you and I would never die
That you and I would never die
In a wonderful display of less than stellar manners, Korbin kept eating even as he followed Weaver down into the cellar. Blancing a bowl and plate in one hand, he shoveled food into his mouth with the other, and didn't let go even as he slumped into the chair she offered.
"Good, then you can keep an eye on it," was his only comment, around a mouthful of porridge. "Better not let people descend into drunken stupors just yet." It was a real danger. Soon the shock would wear off, and once the immediate crisis had been averted, morale would be lower than ever. They would have to find a way to keep people on their toes; a population half-drowned in booze would never be able to rebuild.
"Of course I'll help you," he replied immediately. But something in her tone made Korbin pause. Swallowing, he looked up, a brow raised. "With what, exactly? And what does being a young jerk have to do with it?" His mind was still on logistics, on food inventories and sleeping places, on the need to dig out provisions from the rubble of the Palace. It was clear he wasn't looking further than that at the moment.

Remember when you swore
we had it all?
we had it all?
