sounds like hallelujah

The lion isn't sacred when not sleeping near the lamb Strange, really: Korri had come north expecting to find one companion and finding another instead. Well, perhaps not a companion, but… an ally. A potential ally. The wolf's story intrigued him. He couldn't exactly hear it and walk away… So he merely shook his head at Aedion's offer, a faint smile playing on his lips. "Oh, I can take care of myself. I appreciate the offer, though. You can consider my interest…. a personal one if you'd like. Conquerors just piss me off." He made an expression and maybe a faint noise that passed for a self-deprecating laugh. As if to indicate it's silly, I know but if he could kill every king in every world it would not be enough to wipe his father's face out of his mind. But it might feel good while he did it. "I don't believe I've heard the word before, but I am certain some of the people I know must have at least a passing familiarity with Helovia. I'm going to go and find out what I can. Maybe some of it will be of use to you." Korri tilted his head southward, thoughtful. And then? He wasn't seriously considering sticking his neck out for this stranger… It was something else. Something like bloodlust, or just — justice. He had to decide for himself if vengeance was indeed an appropriate name for Aedion's desire. And then, because vengeance was the noble course… perhaps he would continue to help, overtly or no. He nodded, something closing off in his eyes. "If it isn't… Well. Let's not trade promises until we meet again, shall we?" He swung his head back toward Aedion. "Maybe you should think about what you plan on doing to your enemies if you should find them, though." It is evil when it eats unless it's feeding from the damned.
