Hadama was unaware of Flora's private thoughts and so Vi's voice drew a moment of confusion from the Tidebreaker as he turned his gaze on the God of Life. Puzzled but loyal to his goddess's creator, he bowed his head in acceptance. "If that will protect Torchline, we will do so," he promised.
But it seemed that they would not need to fulfill any more tasks in their quest. The Void crystal vanished and the warm glow of Vi's protection rose around the lighthouse and all the Coast, and Hadama's chest seemed to fill with clean air for the first time since Starfall, untainted by the presence of the Void. He bowed deeply from where he knelt and when he rose he looked to Flora with a small nod of acknowledgment for what Vi had left unsaid.
But strongly implied.
"We will not let our guard down," he assured them both. Their victory had bought them breathing room and a defensible place to stand. Now they would need to take advantage of it.
