If Hadama was disappointed that Sunjata did not have personal experience with the pools that gave the island its name, he gave no sign of it. He only inclined his head in calm acceptance of the Flood's due caution. "Indeed." Temptation may have dangled just out of reach like a worm on a hook, but the mermanta was not foolish enough to risk his life or his world on something so untested. Nor was he the type to ask Sunjata to risk himself in an endeavor the Tidebreaker would not undertake himself, even had the other man been willing.
But there were other ways to test the pools then to dive headfirst into the icy waters, if only he knew where one was - and if it was in range of the river. "Have you ever met Vi?" he asked as he gathered together a sphere of water in the palm of his hand and turned it to ice as they spoke.
