After the announcement of Stormbreak's intentions towards the Abandoned humans, Hadama had requested a meeting with Sohalia. Though it was an official discussion between leaders it was not intended to be overly formal (though the mermanta knew he could come off as such), and he had taken care to make things more at ease for the young Heart. He had proposed meeting down at the Port beside the merfolk statue that served as Ludo's shrine rather than in the Court of Stars, for one thing. For another, he had bartered for the materials used in making lanterns for the upcoming Festival at the end of Leafchange.
He had secured two small glass fishing buoys for himself, and several small pots of enamel paints as he rested his elbows on the side of the canal and studied the shiny, dark red surface of his first 'canvas.' After long contemplation he finally lifted a brush and began to stroke a few simple, clean black lines onto the glass. Beside him were other materials, more suitable to a land dweller's lantern, but there were plenty of nearby vendors in the port who sold various odds and ends in case the ones he had chosen didn't suit his new colleague's taste.
