It was pleasant to simply relax and banter with a fellow Mer without the politics of the court weighting every word and gesture, and Hadama was glad for the respite. He had asked his question in genuine curiosity for which of the headless statues of heroes, monsters, myths and fancies may have caught the jewel of the court's attention, and he was content to wait in the gentle waters of the garden while she considered her options.
As was so often the case, her answer was unexpected and outside of the box and the King finally cracked a small, slow smile and gave her a half-bow of appreciation for her wit. Indeed. When it is, please show me. Either because she commissioned it herself, inspired a sculptor with her muse, or did something to earn immortal recognition such that the honor was bestowed on her.
The conversation had rejuvenated him, and the Tidebreaker stretched his manta wings to their fullest before swimming towards Andromeda, extending his webbed hand to touch his fingertips to hers. Thank you.
He slipped gracefully past her and moved back towards the palace with his usual slow, inexorable pace, but somehow the large mermanta looked a little lighter in the water after their meeting.
