If Hadama was surprised to find Remi in a state of tousled ease, looking like he had either just woken up or was getting ready to lie down, he did not show it. He regarded the Bastion with the same calm serenity his face often held, regardless of his true emotions. He simply raised his hand in greeting and finished approaching the edge of the boat, staying just far enough back that he could look up at Remi silhouetted against the sky without breaking his neck.
The invitation gave him a moment's pause, but then he inclined his head in solemn gratitude. "Yes, thank you. Tea would be... appreciated." And he did not want to risk dropping the box or having it snatched by a passing Voidbound Hel.
Trading mertail for legs and with the Bastion's assistance soon had the Tidebreaker aboard the houseboat, and Hadama looked around the deck with its many plants and flowers with curiosity. It was the first time he had seen the Northaven from this angle, and he nodded in appreciation at the homey touches visible on the deck. "Your home is lovely." In spite of the gravity of his visit the edges of his eyes crinkled, warming in appreciation of the lush, vibrant combination of water and air and plants that comprised the houseboat. "Have you been well?"
