Yes. Hadama met the much larger gaze of the bakunawa and held it for a moment before inclining his head in a slow, deep nod. Towards the box, and the packaging upon it. New. But much needed. They could not lead their people if they did not take of themselves. They could not protect them, either, without stepping outside of their comfort zones. Challenging expectations.
Among other things they could challenge.
Hadama tilted his head at Sunjata, meeting his eyes next and repeating his nod. Mmh. Bring what I have given you. And a way for us to remain hydrated. I have been told that it is important at the... spa. For demigods who drew power from water, especially.
His tail moved slowly through the water beneath him as he lapsed back into quiet, but before they could suggest they end the meeting he drew in a deep breath of seawater through his gills and then expelled it in a controlled hum. I have a request, Sunjata. Though a flick of his eyes included Deimos in the moment, a witness to what came next. You know what it is to be Safrin's demigod. The... limits of her patience. But I would like to give my respects to Frey, as well. Would you do so for me? When next you make an offering at the alter in your Refuge. Again his hand slipped into the bag at his side and withdrew a box. It was smaller, inconspicuous. Wrapped tightly to protect it from the water and weighing almost nothing.
But it held a note of thanks for the gods of nature, and an offering of seeds gathered from the most beautiful seaflowers on the reef. Frey - and Rae - would know why.
