Corbin knew something about heroes. He had heard enough stories and talked to his Granny enough to know that it was important, heroes and destiny and all of that, and once he had been a bit older, had been glad that wasn't going to be him. So he could at least respect the whole not wanting to fuck up and be a hero and all of that bit.

But then Ren had to say the words "tempted" and "what's wrong" and he immediately held a hand up. "Whoa whoa whoa hold on a second, Ren. You wanna be a hero, fine. You wanna end the Wyrm, alright" whatever the fuck that was, his brain amended, but that wasn't important right now "but what the absolute fuck does that have to do with likin' women? It ain't wrong, and it sure as hell don't make you wrong." He sighed, running his hand through his hair again "You sure as hell don't have to lie about it. Not here." There were other things he wanted to get out but he didn't quite know how, he didn't know enough and couldn't get the words to line up right, but he knew that the bond was what was important, not if the person was male or female.
