The invitation to sit was a welcome one, and Hadama settled carefully into a chair so they could both be comfortable while they spoke. He inclined his head gratefully at the Warden's willingness to convey his greetings to the Evergreen, and then he laid out the reason for his unexpected visit. His expression remained solemn and composed but he sat at ease as he waited for the Sword's reply to his unusual request.
The agreement drew an inclination of the Tidebreaker's head in gratitude. The question was not unexpected, and Hadama gave smaller nod to indicate his own willingness to answer, though he sat quietly for a time, collecting his thoughts before he spoke. "She has offered me a choice. To serve her as Ronin does, or as you do. A choice I should not make until I understand both paths." A great honor, and a great responsibility, no matter which current he ended up swimming, and not an answer he had pursued lightly or in great haste.
