He glanced over to see how the daggers were coming along, but the angle was wrong and Thalassa's body blocked his view. He had to rely on her to tell him when the deconstruction was complete, but Hadama was a patient man. Besides, he lacked her resistance to fire and heat, and he needed to wait for the armlet to cool before he could lift it in his hands again.
By the time she rose to show him her handful of hardening metal, his armor had cooled to a temperature that was uncomfortable but no longer dangerous. He examined the remains of the daggers and gave a nod of approval as they solidified into a cast of her cupped hands. It had intriguing possibilities for art, in fact...
But he held himself to their current goals, setting the thought aside for a later day. "I am," he agreed, wrapping his armlet in a thick cloth and tucking it into his bag to let it finish cooling. He pushed himself to his feet with a grace that seemed out of place on such a large, heavily-muscled frame and dusted his hands off. "It was good to see you again, Captain Thalassa. I hope you will visit Torchline again soon." He inclined his head to her in a respectful bow, ready to take his leave unless she had more to say.
