Hadama had meant to test his fellow Mer's aim with the cast of the net, and when Kaiden took it and captured the pineapple on their first try the answer seemed clear. The mermanta's expression didn't change as the litany of distaste filled the bond, but his emerald eyes twinkled in spite of the unpleasant task, and he took the edges of the net with a solemn nod of gratitude.
It was as he was attaching a kelp-fiber rope to the net bag so that he could tow the unpleasant fruit behind them at a distance that Kaiden spoke again, and for once Hadama's silence wasn't just to gather his thoughts. It was in genuine confusion that he replayed the last minutes of their conversation to find what the shark was replying to. Then he blinked and puffed out a stream of bubbles from his nose, the corners of his eyes crinkling at his companion. Indeed. Well cast with the net, he praised them, for it had been. As he began to swim, leading the way back to the air-filled underwater cavern where many of the gathered flora and fauna were being stored, he spoke again. If you want to practice more, I would be honored to spar with you again.
