All too well

Corvus had yet to spend time with Abaven's youngest, but he knew in time he'd meet them and hopefully be a positive influence on their upbringing. But admittedly he was deeply distracted lately with worries over Twig's well-being and.. well, Abaven's future in general. Once he would've laughed at the mere prospect of Ignis being a thread to his loved ones, but now.. well, he really wasn't so sure. He hoped he was worrying for no reason but he thought it better to worry than be vastly unprepared, and be caught off guard..

His thoughts wandered as he swiped at the water, somewhat idly, clearing missing his target. He was so focused on both his task at hand and what he was thinking about that he barely noticed Soul until he was bumping into him, and Corvus flinched slightly. The reaction calmed as soon as it started, though he swung himself around so the boy wasn't able to get to the rapids even if he tried. He knew of Soul's blindness, and coupled with memories of his own parents' warnings of the rapids, he wanted to be sure the boy knew to be careful around here.

"Hey you," he started gently. Corvus had never been the best at talking to strangers, though he tried; but when it came to kids he found he could interact with them much more easily. Maybe because he spent less time worrying about what they'd think of him and how he'd come across. "I was fishing, but I wasn't having much luck. The water is kinda low right now." Which made the rapids a bit lower on the danger scale than usual, but he still didn't like the thought of kids running around here unattended.
