Mmh. I am well. If tired, Hadama admitted to his friend with a wry snort that sent a small cloud of bubbles streaming upwards towards the surface. Oddly, Kaiden's cheerfulness was lifting up his spirits. The food was undoubtedly helping, too, and Hadama cracked the last of his urchins and used his agile tongue to suck the soft, tangy flesh out from inside.
He turned his power on another group and then sent half of them towards the mershark. He had never known Kaiden to be truly full, and if he could feed his friend it brought him quiet satisfaction to do so. He missed having time to devote to his culinary training, but heavy was the head, as the humans said.
Hearing that the shark, of all beings, had been having a peaceful time was more relieving than he had expected to hear. I am glad, he rumbled sincerely, working his way through the rest of his snack. They had only put a small dent in the urchin population, but it was enough for one day, and now that he knew it was here he could send some of the local Mer to keep an eye on it. I will be heading back to Torchline soon. I hope I will see you there. He swam closer, not touching the independent young Mer as he went past but offering a pulse of warmth and welcome through the bond before he continued past, ready to return to his patrol. Take care, Kaiden. Safe currents guide you home.
