We are all stardust
Zen watched Hadama's expression as the older Demi-god processed his identity. It was no surprise that the Tidebreaker was able to put the pieces together. The stars reformed, swirling as they created new words. (Newly born.)
He wondered what was going through Hadama's mind at the moment. Zen didn't know the man well enough to properly read him. It wouldn't surprise him if Hadama had been close with Seren, both being Safrin's Demi-gods and living in Torchline. If that were the case, Zen's presence might not necessarily be positively received. The timing of his birth made it clear. Zen was created in response to Seren's loss. A replacement in some ways, a counter in others. Possibly Safrin's anger and grief at her daughter's loss, taken form.
