"From your heart to Vi's ears," Hadama murmured, adding his own prayers to Safrin for good measure. The gods, unfortunately, were not the ones in full control of Caido's territory at the moment, and every battle came with risk.
But for the moment, at least, things were quiet. Perhaps for only a few hours. A day or two at most. But the Tidebreaker had learned to take such respite whenever and however he could, and he grasped it in both hands. "I will not speak of shadows any further." A promise he was glad to make as he tilted his head back, letting himself relax until his ears were only barely above the water so he could still hear Ronin's responses. "Your barbecue on the beach was a success." At least until the food fight had broken out. Ah, youth. "Would you be willing to consider making it an annual tradition...?"
Questions of how family fared, the state of the flowers upon the Northhaven, the fishing off the Coast, and the quality of the recent molten pineapple harvest were much lighter topics, better suited to the healing steam of the underground hot springs. And if the time could not stretch as long as they might wish, it was still enough for Hadama to renew himself in preparation for the descent ahead of him.
