He did not need to follow Pierce's eyes to know where the other man was looking. Hadama's expression revealed nothing of his inner thoughts, though they were not particularly good in that moment. But a great deal was happening around them and the arrival of Vox could not, unfortunately, be missed. The Tidebreaker waited patiently while the muscled host of their party greeted his friend - or rather, Family - and then received his answer.
He barely had time to nod before Pierce had stepped past him to grab a drink. Putting the demigod at his back, clearly unworried. It might have been a show of disdain, but Hadama accepted it philosophically.
The Void-born man had nothing to fear from him, after all. Not with his magic so thoroughly locked away. But when Flora's voice called out the Tidebreaker remained in Pierce's shadow, not yet finished with their conversation. Though Pierce, it seemed, was finished with him as Frey themselves appeared to take charge of things.
A single steely brow rose at the... display.
And then all hell broke loose.
Knives flew. Spirits were summoned. An all-out brawl broke out from several individuals he would not have thought to be involved. But Hadama kept his attention focused on the target of all the action, taking no hostile action himself even when Vox sizzled into the air on the other side of Pierce's bound body.
If he had been able to move before Vox appeared things might have been different, but he did not. Instead he backed away from the pair of Family members until he reached the edge of Pierce's sphere of influence and felt his magic flowing back into him. Breathing deeply, he looked around to consider the situation - and the several side dramas going on besides.
Hadama retreats to get outside the dome.
