you had a heart, it's been gone since they left you
"Because violence only breeds more violence. Words only cut if you let them, and there's always a chance for understanding to grow. I've never seen that happen in a fistfight." Weaver might disagree, but he had never found that kicking the crap out of someone made him understand them better.
Korbin waited until the others were gone, then he settled in where the wind couldn't get to him. Standing around in the cold really would punish him eventually, but all the shelters were crowded, and this wasn't the kind of talk he wanted to have an audience for. Loren wasn't exactly helping; the young raven pulled off a glove and dragged a hand over the face.
"Weaver asked me to join her council, and I said yes," he told Loren, without preamble. "And I know you two are... involved." It was the best word for it he could come up with; Korbin wasn't sure how serious it was on Loren's part. That Weaver had said anything at all about it said a lot about her own feelings, and he did try to respect that. "Both of those things means we're going to see each other a lot. So if we have any problems, I think we should settle them, as soon as possible. For Weaver's sake."
Tucking the hands into his coat pockets, Korbin watched Loren for a reaction. The guy seemed to have a lot of pent up stuff going on, and the raven was a good target; he definitely wouldn't suffer from a bit of yelling. This time, they could even hash it out with proper words. No need for mental sparring.
