One didn't maintain a physique like Hadama's without staying active and busy, and the Mer King wasn't one to leave a job half-finished. He raised a steely brow at Kaiden's unsubtle opinion, but since the shark was heading off to clean up the mess they had contributed to, the mermanta contented himself with a simple: Indeed.Thank you, Kaiden.
And at least Kaiden was able to make up for their previous difficulties. Their current task was perhaps a bit more suited to the shark's style as they were able to remove the damaged corals one at a time. Conversely, even though now they had little need to be gentle, their grip seemed firm and certain on the pieces they collected and they were able to transport them without further crumbling or damage.
My pleasure, the Tidebreaker murmured through the Mer bond to Andromeda, green eyes glinting with amusement at the flirtation. Unfortunately, despite their strong start at fixing the first statue they had chosen to work on, things went downhill after that. Although they'd thought they were doing well, arms and tails and various limbs soon began falling off their earlier 'patients' due to a combination of not enough glue and not being held together long enough.
Hmm. Let us try again. Be generous with the glue, and I will hold them longer, he suggested. We may take a break if you need to rest, he added, recognizing how hard Andy had been working with a grateful inclination of his head.
Kaiden, can you bring the replacement corals? She can show you where to find them, he added, indicating a perky young lionfish-mer who waved at the shark and began to swim away.
Round 3:
- Oops! Statue team needs to try again, a little more carefully this time
- Choose and collect new fan corals from the farm just outside the city to replace the ones removed last round
