More beautiful than a sunset, Safrin appeared and would have stolen Hadama's breath if he had been above the waves. Her grin drew the smile from his heart, slow but bright as white teeth flashed from dark skin. Her hands warmed him even before her starlight filled him, a champagne fizz of power and potential that left him feeling more renewed than any mere sleep had ever done.
It was with regret that he felt the transfer end and her hands draw away, but as emerald eyes refocused on the starlit halo of her hair and the eternity of her gaze it was with a sudden sharpening of interest and curiosity. Her family...? had Seren been found...?
It was not the eldest child that appeared in the waters, but three unknown ones - though calling them 'children' might be a stretch. Outwardly, at least, they appeared adult, and there was something of Safrin's beauty in each of them. Hadama studied the trio, committing their faces to memory - especially the boy, who would likely find his path more challenging for the power and privileges of his birthright. He inclined his head in acknowledgment of her words, for it was not an onerous recommendation. He would have offered his assistance to most newcomers to Safrin's shores, but knowing these were her children certainly predisposed him towards them from the start. Thank you, he murmured into the Bond, both for her blessing and for sharing the joyous news of a new demigod and the increase in her family. What are their names? He paused, considering the dark-haired boy with curiosity before nodding at the image in the water. Which of your aspects does he embody? The stars, the gravity of night, the moon... each demigod seemed to lean into a certain facet of the goddess's domain, even if there was often overlap.
