Hadama accepted what Zavien said with a thoughtful nod, his serene expression giving nothing away of his thoughts on the other man's origins and stated intentions. Who could be trusted and exactly how far had become an unfortunate set of questions to be asked of all those newly-met on Caido.

The Tidebreaker inclined his head in acknowledgment of the moral support gained from the Miana Pool and the L'ma's potential to help, but at the questions that followed he turned his head to the east where the new island was currently hidden by distance and foliage, but the violet streaks that cracked the sky above it were visible even during the daytime. "Indeed. It would overrun us if we did not fight it every day." As it had overrun the Greatwood and the Feverlands already in those regions where a coordinated defense had failed to coalesce.

"And we do so with force." His serene expression shifted, jaw tightening into solemn determination as he pulled the trident from the loops that held it to his back and pointed it at the small invader.

"We have been told that Safrin's energy does not work against the Family," he added. "But it is sufficient against the lesser infected."
