[Hardly skilled in the art of diplomacy and knowing there are much more skilled minds for that, Korrin nonetheless remains nearby during negotiations just in case they come to a sudden, violent breakdown. That it doesn't happen is clearly a credit to her companions, and the news of the clans' future departure is met with relief. Clearly eager to get going, Korrin sets about to packing and checking on friends/companions to be sure all is set before they depart. She doesn't want any reason for there to be a sudden turn-around, not after the hassle they've been through. At the top of her list are Twisted Fate and Sera, but she'll pause and speak with anyone from her party for the chance to exchange impressions or just vent.]

[Eventually, he does find his way to committing his time to just Korrin, who is the ever faithful friend he can count on. Twisted Fate sighs and leans against her, determined to have some kind of contact. It really doesn't matter what at the moment.]

Thank you for coming with me, spitfire. [Sure, she's not terribly diplomatic, but he doesn't know what he would have done without her.]

[gatheringstorm]

[When he leans on her, Korrin slips a comforting arm around him because she can, a tired smile on her lips.]

Any time, Fate. Silver for your thoughts? You must have plenty of them.

[Vent away, Fate. You know you need it.]

[wickedchase]

[There's a heavy sigh and he comfortably leans against her.]

Everyone's an idiot, I've been thoroughly reminded that I'm glad to not be part of a clan, fuck the rifts, I want this mark gone, and the first thing I'm doing when I get back is buying a new hat.

No. Two hats.

[gatheringstorm]

Have one on me, you've earned it for putting up with this shit.

[Hats sound like good therapy, at least for someone who likes them and can actually wear them. Korrin won't judge.]

You're better off without them, anyway. So much of this shit could have been avoided but no, pride had to win out. They don't deserve you, and maybe one day they'll realize how badly they fucked up. But who the hell cares by then, you'll have your own life to live.

[wickedchase]

Might explain the pride demon that was so keen on hanging around when we dealt with the rift. [He snorts.]

In any case, I hope they get back to wandering the country side again. Then maybe I don't ever have to see them again. Is that too much to hope for?

[gatheringstorm]

"'So long, don't write.' Yeah, probably. That was one of the reasons I went to speak with the humans; if I had to stick around the Keeper after hearing she wanted you back, I might have laughed in her face and screwed it all up." Not that the villagers were any better for Korrin's temper, thanks to all those slurs. But she was slightly less worried about pissing them off than Fate's former clan. Whatever happened between them, it ought to be his choice.
