Snippet #2815771

Korrin listened to the boy’s talk as he ate what breakfast he procured. Whilst the point was made that he had sheer dumb luck to be still breathing after the brawl and speaking to the Captain, Korrin was unprepared for the boy talking up what would’ve been his fate. It caused him to swallow his breakfast with an audible gulp. Maybe luck sided with him just the once, yet the resolve to still keep a sharp eye behind him at all times was there now.

The talk about Landlubbers thinking they were better then others caused him to raise an eyebrow. After hearing the rest of the statement about how young Collen felt about Lanlubbers caused him to wince at the sharpness of the words. Kid gave some sharp points in both his lecture and the delivering of said lecture. Such words deserved an honest reply.

”Well Lad, if it makes you feel happy, I don’t think myself better then anyone. I’m not, or else that brawl would have ever happened. Instead, I’d have joked back at their questions and asked for a proper drink in exchange for answers.” He said, giving a regret filled smirk, “A better man wouldn’t get mad over silly insults or start fights over it. As for the my luck last night with the Captain, I wouldn’t call being scared shitless before a man like the Captain luck. I’d call it being scared shitless after the haze of anger faded away.”

Korrin sighed, before checking around the kitchen ensuring no child, in other words Lemnia, was about. ”On the other hand, if it was luck, then I must’ve used a good portion of it. I doubt I’ll get that lucky again. Lastly, shall you and I have an agreement not to curse near the young child whenever she’s about? Her mum would probably appreciate it if we didn’t end up giving her the habit.” with that, Korrin finished his breakfast, and stood up to find something else to do, that probably didn’t involve looking at anyone he may have fought with in the eye, save for apologies.

”Have a good day lad. Need any extra help with work just let me know.” with that, he began to walk.
