Idealism sits prison while chivalry falls upon its sword
The oceans are vast, and luck must be on his side for Delta is not far from his reach after all. Perhaps she has returned home to their city for the security it brings, the safety it represents. There is no sentient aquatic creature beneath the surface who does not know of the eruption. Maybe this conversation will be easier than he anticipated.
Though she does not reach out herself, Maru bridges the gap for her, reaching to run a hand down through her short hair and cup the back of her head in a brief but affectionate touch. "I am glad to see you well. You were not near the eruption, were you?" Dark eyes sweep over her frame, assessing for any injuries and relaxing slightly when none are immediately visible. "I have had no contact from the Governor. I am aware of your explorations of late, but I implore you to exercise caution in the coming times." The gravity of his expression and tone as he projects it to her speaks for itself, and he can only hope that she will heed his warnings. She is older now and hopefully wiser for her added years, and will understand that as interesting as the mouth-breathers may be, there will be much change in the aftermath of the explosion.
