KORBIN
A raucous crow, a rootless tree
A coiled adder, night-old ice

Perhaps if they had been sharing the voiceless bond between Attuned, this conversation would have been less one sided. But for all that ravens were vocally gifted, there were barriers around this ones mind that would not permit him to reach out beyond a certain point.
A quiet croak was offered in agreement though; they were close. And the comment... it made the raven fix a blue stare at the youth. Searching, considering. The sharp beak was startlingly gentle when it was reached in to tug at a few strands of the youth's hair. A gesture that was almost kind. A thank you?
Then, just as suddenly the raven spread its wings and kicked off. Wind rushed over dark feathers with a sound like whispering silk as it flew off towards the Olson house; apparently there was no need to bring Korbin to the doorstep.
A single black pinion remained behind, slowly dancing down to land on the ground before Sah's feet.

A racing stallion who has wrenched a leg,
Are never safe: let no man trust them.
