Hadama inclined his head in contented agreement of Ronin's analysis. Given the information he had shared so far it was a sensible one, and he certainly appreciated the kind implications in the Nova's words. He didn't clarify his own meaning immediately, however, focusing instead on the other man's experiences and thoughts on his place as Safrin's chosen.
And to hear confirmation that Ronin was her first and chosen champion - at least in the current generation - seemed to bring the mermanta some measure of reassurance. "Your help has been appreciated," Hadama agreed with a nod of gratitude. "As has Safrin's." Shining did not sound like a terrible task to be given, especially when one was already inclined towards helping others.
He was quiet for a little while again, sharing drinks from the bottle and the congenial company before he spoke again. His expression was more sober and his words slower as he chose them with care. "Do you have any regrets about being a demigod?" He tilted his head in acknowledgment of Ronin's unique circumstances; being resurrected rather than being free to decide without pressure certainly made their situations different. When the other alternative was death... "I have been given a choice. To serve Safrin as you do, or as Deimos does."
