Hadama hadn't been anticipating her to hit the seed right back at him, and he only barely managed to twist to the side as the projectile went past his shoulder, grazing skin but plopping harmlessly into the water a short distance back. He tilted his head at Melita in respect at her aim. "Impressive," he murmured. Amusement came easier when training meant no one was seriously hurt and only pride was in danger of wounding.
He considered a second seed pod for a moment, tossing it once to get a feel for its weight, and then lofted it towards the warrior woman with a bit more strength and speed behind it.
Perhaps he should have stuck with his slower start, however. The target was further off-base this time, not truly on target and decidedly high - though still well within reach of the staff's longer stretch.
