Snippet #2815775

Korrin stops short at Collen’s words as he looks back to him incredulously with a pale complexion on his face. ”Are you trying to get me killed now?!” He thought frantically. Was the boy serious, joking, or was this Karma for causing the fight last night Finally biting him in the arse?

”After we just agreed my luck is probably done he wants to throw me under the wagon so he doesn’t want to deal with whatever foul mood the Captain’s in due to my outburst! Clever lad all the same, joking or not!” Korrin was nonetheless terrified at the prospect of what Collen proposed.

”Very well, if you insist on testing my luck further.” the young hunter said as he walks out of the kitchen and, though his every instinct told him not to step one foot further towards potential death, he finds himself at the Captain’s door, raising his hand to knock on it. For a brief moment, he was in a dark place in his memories, vividly recalling himself facing a man and rightly being afraid of him. No. The Captain from what Korrin could understand from Collen’s information, was worse then him. ”Don’t even pay those memories a second glance, He can’t hurt me. He’s miles and years away.”

With that, he knocked on the door. ”Fetching your dishes Captain. Lad’s got his hands full down below.” with that, Korrin entered and quickly took the used dishes trying to avoid eye contact as much as possible.

The Captain's back was to him, facing the rear window gazing out at the sea. But his head turned over his shoulder at Korrin's entry and a single black furry eyebrow arched beneath his Captain's Hat. Korrin barely noticed that, as he finished collecting the dishes and leaving the Captain’s quarters to go back to the Kitchen. He’ll not ask Collen if he needed help for the rest of the morning that’s for certain.
