KORBIN
It's so nice to meet you
He gave her a suspicious glance, not at all sure how to handle that kind of straight forward praise. Korbin was torn between scoffing, contradicting her by claiming that no, this was not doing well, and it wasn't like he gave lessons because he liked it. In the end, a confused silence was the only thing she was met with. Pouring himself a cup of the now very strong and very bitter herbal tea, he took it and returned to his cot.
"I see." There was a long pause. Then; "Tea with ginger and thyme is good for coughs. Choke it with all the honey you like... apparently kids like that." Meaning, he was no kid, and he knew how to do this shit too, and good riddance.
If eating the pie and drinking the tea meant he could leave soon, then he would chug as best he could. Korbin had a bar to run, a new employee to instruct, and... well... that was about it. Felt like reasons enough, if getting away from the disaster blonde didn't cut it.
