Her sword drew a look of alert interest from the Tidebreaker, and a slow nod of appreciation for both the weapon and its provenance. He was even more glad to hear that she had not needed to fight alone for long and her smile was met with a quiet exhalation of relief as the tension eased from his shoulders.
"I am glad we did not need to find out," he rumbled, quiet but frank in his opinion. Aurelia had been both swift and skilled, but the bites of the Shadow Serpents were nothing to take lightly. Even a graze from a fang could have allowed enough Void corruption to enter her veins that she would have become distracted and delirious... and much easier prey for the infected predators.
A steely grey brow rose at the mention of the Hanged Man but he certainly did not look offended at her offer. "Thank you. I am, indeed, up for it. Once we burn the carcasses so they do not cause further taint," he added.
With Aurelia's magic it would be a simple matter to incinerate the snakes and the bloody sand, though Hadama was careful to make sure they stayed upwind of the smoke. Once no trace remained he joined the Fireheart at the bar, where the new bartender would discover that the current King of Torchline enjoyed drinks that were bright, colorful, and well-sugared.
