FOUND FIRES;

The lion isn't sacred when not sleeping near the lamb So far as Korri was concerned, things went along as expected. Though initially resistant, Baal of course decided to stay with them for the time being. What other choice did she have? Wander the unfriendly dark? Korri smiled at her nonetheless after she spoke, and gave an encouraging nod of his head. Halyven wasn't so terrible. She seemed a resilient girl, anyway. Rixen spoke then, too, and turned back toward the city. Korri's ears pricked. He lifted one hoof; hesitated; set it down. "Well —" He ducked his head, a little chuckle escaping his throat, as if he were mildly embarrassed. "Actually, I should be going, now that things are settled. I still have a lot of daylight left, and —" Here he glanced at the sky, longing lancing through his heart like an arrow. "My raven is out there somewhere." With a rather more sincere smile, Korri stepped back and nodded at the two of them. "I trust you can take care of things from here, Rixen. Thank you." And then — hopefully before either of them could stop him — he went to pivot and hurl himself into the sky, small wings beating furiously to bear him aloft. It is evil when it eats unless it's feeding from the damned.
