KORBIN
And my hands are not clean,
maybe they never will be
maybe they never will be
Korbin very much preferred to do the cleaning himself, and accepted the damp cloth with a nod of thanks. It was very ironic that the only one who actually respected his words and personal space was the former dictator.
"Something along the lines of 'all outlanders are a plague of The Voice, arrogant and disruptive and one day their meddling will bring ruin to this region'. Except Chulane was the one I actually said it too, and apparently it was enough to make him want to quit his job and leave Halo."
Korbin's gaze remained on Neron as he spoke. The words very much applied to him as well, and it could even be argued that they'd already seen the kind of ruin he was talking about in action. Of course, his being Ascended hardly made it better.
"Still don't think I'm a jerk? Still care to work with someone like me?" He didn't expect it, frankly. But like he'd told Chulane, it wasn't as though Korbin was capable of doing anything about it. Not the changes or the outlanders or the Ascended... Voicing his displeasure was as far as he was ever likely to go. And they could still prove him wrong.
Not that anyone had, so far.

But they can still carry you home
when you are ready to sleep
when you are ready to sleep
