...
The silence in the Bond after Kaiden's statement was a complex thing, many-layered and rich in several alternative replies that the King might have made. He swam in silence for long minutes, rolling one emerald eye to give the mershark a look that mingled disbelief and concern with a decidedly equine cast. Finally the hippocampus snorted and shook his head, the supple fin that ran the length of his neck rippling with the passage of the water against it.
Mmh. Perhaps this is a discussion for later. Perhaps Kaiden's new 'ghost whale friend' had hit them harder on the head than they realized. The other Mer seemed otherwise fine, however, swimming easily and well and speaking clearly, but strangely that did not allay the coil of uncertainty in the Tidebreaker's stomach. I am heading towards the Refuge now. But I would like to see you again. If you make your way north I will be in the Spillwave for a time. Patrolling the edges of the Greatwood islands, seeking signs of Roses on the shore - or signs of Void corruption in the waters to root out.
The big hippocampus twisted to swim a slow circle around the mershark, checking Kaiden over in his farewell. Seeing no injuries, however, he made his goodbyes and went about his grim task.
He would have more time to worry about his friend once he had tended to the passage of his subject.
