you had a heart, it's been gone since they left you
It was difficult to say whether it was really a good approach or not. For a while, Korbin took a dark satisfaction in seeing the guy be jostled around. But when Loren continued to do nothing, and the bullying became more pronounced, a scowl slowly crept over the young man's face. The bleating of the luxere sounded accusatory, somehow, and a vague sense of shame settled into his gut.
Pushing away from the wall, Korbin tucked his hands into the pockets and sauntered over to the others. When the next shovel handle came flying towards Loren, he stepped in and caught it in a gloved hand, gaze locking with the man who had wielded it. "That's enough of that, wouldn't you say." Korbin smiled. It sounded like a friendly proposal, and there was bit of glaring and huffing... But the look in his eye as he glanced at the rest made the men straighten, and with a few dark glares at Loren they went back to work.
Korbun turned back to gaze at Loren, expression neutral as he looked the man over. Signs of exhaustion was on everyone today, but there was a numbness to the healer's expression that he didn't really like.
"Why do you let them act like that?" he asked, and stepped aside to let another person past.
