The moonlight brightened and Hadama let his eyes close briefly in quiet joy at the mark of his goddess's favor. When he opened them again it was to the sound of Safrin's black velvet voice and the sight of her perfect smile bathing him in her grace.
He drank in the sight of her and then bowed his head, humbled and grateful anew that she had remade him as one of her chosen ones even before she praised his work. "Thank you," he said, his voice a soft rumble. The offerings paled in comparison to the woman who stood near them, but there was pride in the curve of the Tidebreaker's shoulders to have them accepted by her.
He raised his head as she raised his StArmour, the bangle that held it seeming to shine all the brighter as it reflected her radiance back, and he met her star-filled eyes with the faint quirk of a smile at the corner of his mouth. She knew him well, and he took comfort in that knowing, just as he took strength from her starlight in his bones. "Yes. And to see you." To be renewed by her beauty, and to pledge himself to her anew, even if only in the quiet stillness of his heart as he gazed upon her. "The blessings you have given me are stronger than ever. And I want to thank you again for all of your gifts."
