Hadama absorbed the lesson with his usual solemn consideration before inclining his head deeply in gratitude. "Thank you. Then I will call you 'Remi.' Since you are not in trouble... as far as I know," he added, a slyly teasing tilt to his head as he raised his gaze to the Bastion once more. There were still pleasantries to exchange, and a small amount of catching up to do as they ambled along the beach, combing it for shells of the right size and colors.
A nod of acknowledgment was given to the compliment, but then a shell was found that met the other demigod's requirements, and Hadama's curiosity earned him an invitation to the game. "I have time," he assured the other demigod, serene in the face of falling night. "Once it is dark I will be able to teleport to where I want to be." And save himself however many hours it might take to walk or swim there. If he noticed Remi's surprise at his request he gave no indication of it. "What are the rules?"
