Indeed, Hadama's approval would have been warmly felt through the Attuned bond if Zavien had access to it. His ghost of a smile would have to be enough, before it shifted back to his usual serene stoicism in preparation for their spar. He had no doubt that the Dragoon would make him work on his speed and endurance, regardless of the weapons they chose. Nor was he disappointed in their first pass as Zavien dodged with a skillful step, moving with an economy of motion that the Tidebreaker would have liked to admire if he had been permitted the time.
The other man's blade flashed beneath the starlight above as it maintained contact with the coral-and-gold trident, and Hadama reacted with speed that others often found surprising in such a large man. Rather than letting Zavien maintain contact with his weapon he dropped it out from under the sword and spun it around once more, even as he took a single step to the side to avoid the incoming blade. Now the starlit tines were descending towards Zavien's left shoulder, narrow-edge on though angled so the smooth, blunt side of the bottommost tine might hit rather than the sharp pointy ends.
