He nodded approval at the news of Zavien's survival, but hearing how Stormbreak had... if not flourished, at least not suffered under the rule of the Family had him tilting his head to the side in thought. "Surprising. But a relief," he admitted frankly. "I am glad your people have not been... changed... by this experience." Infected, the way that Everest seemed to have been, though there could be no proof until the ring was finished.
Having the question turned back on him had Hadama blinking and taking a slow breath. "It has been... difficult. But not without moments of joy," he rumbled quietly. "Rooting the Void out of Torchline seemed endless. But in the past year I have met both Rae and Vi, and with their help all of our land is now protected." From all but the Family, at least. "I have made new friends," he continued with an inclination of his head to Zavien. "But I have also lost others. And I have grown stronger in Safrin's blessings, and seen more of Caido." His stoic expression softened somewhat as he tilted his head at Sol where the little dragon perched and played in Zavien's hair. "Though I have begun to wonder what it would be like to have a companion at my side."
