In truth, Hadama was glad that it was Ray who had come to him. He would have worked with whomever he needed to for the good of Torchline, but having it be a friend made things a great deal easier and lightened a much of the weight from his chest. They would be able to swim the currents that Caido threw at them side-by-side, able to work together and to disagree without rancor.
He nodded agreement to speaking to the former Queen and their patron goddess, but at her suggestion he tilted his head, thinking.
Before he had come to a decision on how to word his thought the nearby cries drew his attention. Steely brows drew together in concern for a moment before he spotted the fins. His face regained its impassive lines as he considered the echo sharks. "I will send a patrol to move them out to deeper water," he rumbled, iron in his voice.
There was no need to kill them, but it would be better if they kept their hunting to fish - and away from both Mer and human cities.
Turning back to Ray he met her eyes again. "Do you wish me to call a vote of the humans?" So that no one could say that she didn't have the support of the populace as well as that of the goddess.
