"As is yours. Ray would have loved it." The deep voice gentled on the name, and he reached a large hand forward to brush a finger delicately over the edge of one of the outermost metal curves as if against a cheek of flesh and blood. Beneath the stars that burned high above his expression softened to something wistful and fond and sad. A sigh that would have barely ruffled seafoam whispered from his lips before he withdrew his hand and regained a semblance of his stoicism as their conversation turned to darker questions.
New enough to be unknown to even the youngest gods of Caido or old enough to have been forgotten by all but Caido and Dygra was, as Edmund pointed out, academic.

Hadama inclined his head in agreement and slipped deeper into the waves, easing the discomfort of being half-beached and the places where small stones and shells had been digging into his stomach and tail. "Indeed. I must leave mine to dry overnight," he informed the young man. "For now, I should sleep. Good night, Edmund." A warm smile flickered through his eyes before he slipped away and down into the night-black waters, off to grab a few hours' rest before the next crisis arose.
