Amun's lips twitched at Nikolai's likely unintentional echo of the potter's words, though his amusement didn't reach his eyes. "Do you, now?" Shrugging, the potter felt the dirt underneath his hands and Zhanshi passed underneath before the landshark dove deep and away from the water.
"No, I am obviously not okay. Don't worry, though I don't think anyone is actually good at these talks. And it's not like I'm going to fling myself dramatically off the edge into the water." Amun dipped his toes back in as he spoke. "I imagine we all lost people recently. Too many." Sighing, he glanced over his shoulder at the younger Ascended. "How are you coping? And are you going to loom over me back there or come sit?"
