Unaware of what she had lost before her rebirth and having only met her as an Ascended - unaware at the time that she even was Ascended - Hadama was oblivious to what his use of magic might mean to her. Nor did he know her well enough to see beneath her mask of fey humor. He was not so confident in his landlegs that he could attempt to banter, even if he had been the type to do so. Instead he focused on the fight and the unfamiliar sensation of wielding his trident on land as something other than a walking staff.
Indeed, was all he rumbled in return to her suggestion--
And nearly lost sight of her as the petite woman dropped even lower. Not confident in his ability to dance - in or out of combat - or keep his balance with fancy footwork, Hadama instead stood as steady as his other moniker. The Tidebreaker slammed the butt of his trident down into the cobbles beside his leg to defend his vulnerable ankles, intending to use it to block the incoming sweep.
But at least in using it for defense, he couldn't use it to launch an attack this round.
"You are quick." he noted with approval.
