He had been looking for a Fae, but it was a human who caught his eye first. After a moment's consideration he changed course and headed for her. In his estimation, Fae wings might not do so well under water but a human should have no such trouble. He ducked beneath the surface so that he could move more swiftly and easily, and rose again near the dark-haired woman with his bubble of Ringing Algae still in tow.
He pushed his wet hair back in one habitual motion as he studied her for a long moment from calm green eyes. His expression was serenely stoic and a little bit thoughtful as he contemplated his greeting and then he inclined his head briefly.
"Greetings." His voice was deep and low, like the quiet rumble of distant summer thunder. "I am Hadama." His tail moved lazily beneath the ripples of the Stonesong, just enough to hold him steady. "Do you know this place?" The Mer were primarily denizens of Torchline and the Arclight Ocean. The great War of the previous year, however, had changed the world drastically and the Greatwood had become far more accessible to his people, though they were still a rare sight in the recently-drowned woods.
