It was clear he was being playful, though, as they often teased each other, and he liked to give Adan a hard time.<br/><br/>"I vote for resting in Bruxley. I want for a warm bed and a tankard of ale. And hopefully locals that will not immediately try to set me on fire." He pursed his lips at Adan's joke about his shadows and said, grinning, "Assuming I don't burst into flames before we get there from<em>behaving</em>so much."<br/><br/>You're as incorrigible as I am. Are you sure<em>you</em>aren't the demon instead of me?" Corbin queried to Adan.<br/><br/>To Niamh he eventually offered a somewhat more serious answer. It took a bit, as he was trying to very carefully avoid any animals, keep to their path, keep a lookout, and avoid being distracted. He was succeeding at all but the last. It was rare that he felt like he was so stimulated that he couldn't relax at all, but he was excited. Not in an erotic way, but a curious way. He wanted to learn more about Niamh and was perhaps too enthused about Bayside.<br/><br/>Most forbidden things did that to him. Well, he wouldn't call Niamh<em>forbidden</em>at least, but he also wouldn't call her available. Unless she was available. And even then, that would require talking to Adan; it would be irresponsible not to, given their bond and connection.<br/><br/>"When I'm overly excited, excess power twines out in the form of these shadows," Corbin explained. "For it to stop, I either need to focus on suppressing it...which I find unpalatable...or I have to calm down....which is currently very unlikely. Actually spontaneously combusting is probably more likely than myself finding a feeling of calmness right now."<br/><br/>Curious, he said, "So....a bard. Do you sing? Perhaps you have a song that is very calm that might help? These shadow tendrils are all well and good here in the wilderness, but I might need to get them in check before Bruxley."
