At least his opponent let go with his teeth - and, a moment later, with his arms after Hadama's weapon made contact with a satisfying solidity. The mermanta twisted back around and attempted to put a little distance between them so he could bring the trident's greater reach back into play, but things didn't go quite as planned.
The rope was still twisted around his tail and he felt the drag of his reluctant passenger as he swam. Enough, he decided firmly, though after a glance back he noted Koa's consternation and quickly realized that the Dragoon was also ready to be done.
Rather than fight the tangled rope further Hadama reached for his magic and vanished from within the rope's painful twist, Aquaporting to behind Koa and freeing them both in an instant.
They might not be able to speak underwater, but Hadama bowed respectfully from the waist, his steely braid floating behind him in a serpentine curve. He led the way back to the Bubblestream and, once they'd popped up in the air at the docks again he offered Koa a bottle of Torchline's refreshing healing water.
The dragoons would be welcome in the Underwater City, and he promised to put any Merfolk interested in joining Koa's force in touch with the soldier.
~Fin~
