A magic wielder and a shapeshifter? Only his familiarity with Deimos and long association with Hotaru kept him from being surprised, though he tilted his head in curiosity. He followed her confident stride in silence, content to let her lead them away from the water and towards the trees - an area without Shadowed Pineapples, Nether Veil Palms, or Voidbark Dudes, he was relieved to note.
Her declaration was met with an agreeable inclination of his head; the conditions for growing land-plants were not ones that he was overly familiar with, and he was content to rely on a landwalker's expertise in the matter.
It looked like it would be difficult to dig up the area, but Aurelia clearly had a plan of action and he watched her wield Fire with a calm and steady confidence that he could respect. Her magic quickly reduced the plants and living debris to ash that would enrich the soil before they whisked out without endangering the nearby trees. "Indeed..." he agreed, a subtle note in his voice revealing how impressed he was at the display of power and control.
Showing that she had the best of both worlds, she slipped from two legs to four, her feline form equally admirable. Even growing used to the molten tiger shifts of the Ancients as he was, it was still a magnificent shape. Hadama considered her size and musculature calmly in spite of the growl, and as she went to work with paws and claws he studied what she did.
Thank you, he rumbled through the Attuned bond when she finished, and gave the tiger a small bow of gratitude for her part in preparing the soil. Stepping forward, he knelt in the moat and used his hands to press the seedpod into the softened earth of the mound before covering it over once more. May it help to keep the Void at bay. As much prayer as wish, but as he stood and dusted his hands on his trousers he stood a little taller, as if a small weight, at least, had been lifted from his broad shoulders.
Emerald eyes turned back to the tiger's gaze and he tilted his head at her in thoughtful consideration. "Will I see you again soon?"
