The Tidebreaker tilted his head in acknowledgment of the thanks, but there was little else he could do for the young man aside from the assurance he had already given: that no grudge was held by Torchline’s King. He missed Melita and their own days of carefree desserts and growing stronger together. But now that she was Ludo’s as completely as he was Safrin’s it was even less likely that things would ever go back to the way they had been between them.
That was not Sah’s weight to bear, however, and Hadama set the heavy thought aside for later contemplation.
Safrin’s name summoned a smile to the Wild Thunder’s face and the corners of Hadama’s eyes crinkled in understanding, his own smile more implied than visible but warm nonetheless to hear Sah’s praise of his goddess. ”What drew you to her?” came the slow, curious question. Emerald eyes turned up towards the stars as well as they spoke, seeking out the constellations of Deepfrost that had guided sailors for as long as humans had sailed ships beyond the sight of shore. It was calming to speak of his lady, and affirming to do so with someone who held her in such reverence.
