Hadama listened solemnly to the young man's answer, nodding slowly in acknowledgment of the explanation that followed. There was solace in prayer as he could well attest, and while Melita's trauma was likely greater she was also an extremely resilient young woman, her mettle long-since tested, tried, and true. He was less familiar with the Wild Thunder, but the distress that was hinted at between the words and in the eyes of the mage was genuine.
And not without good reason.
"I do not," the Tidebreaker reassured him as to questions. "There is always risk in combat. Even in training." And it had been a genuine accident; that much had been clear to everyone watching. "Have you spoken with Melita?" The only one whose opinion truly mattered in the situation, in Hadama's eyes. Eyes that left Sah's face occasionally to scan around them, alert now for further danger beneath the starlight, though his posture remained erect but at ease. It was disturbing to be attacked at a shrine, especially one dedicated to his goddess. It was, however, reassuring that Sah had come to pray at it, and Hadama was keenly curious as to the Wild Thunder's reasons for doing so. A curiosity that could wait until after he had reassured the young man that there was no blame to be cast on him from this half of Torchline's rulership, at least.
