KORBIN
Remember when I swore
That you and I would never die
That you and I would never die
Tongue tied, mouth dry, the seconds that dragged by before she opened the door seemed endless. He nearly bolted several times, changing and rechanging his mind - he hadn't even decided anything, remember? - and when she finally did open, he just gazed down at her. Silent, questioning... was this going the way she planned?
As she stepped aside, Korbin strode into the room. He, like his sister, had a way of owning every space they set foot in, an air of belonging no matter how out of place they were. It didn't exactly matter that they did indeed own this particular place; it was more in the way of how he carried himself, how he mutely held out the bottle to Kiada. An offer, a gift; something to take the edge off. Korbin sure as hell needed it, he felt as tightly wound as one of his lutestrings.
It was hard not to stare at her. Bundled up in furs she had been pretty. Like this, dressed down to the comfortable bare minimum, she was lovely. But somewhere, Korbin still wasn't sure that he had interpreted that message correctly. Many things could make a night memorable; he rather hoped he wasn't jumping to conclusions here.

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