The impassioned speech from his co-ruler was unexpected, and Hadama listened in respectful silence as Harper laid his heart on the table. There was no denying that the man felt strongly, but the Mer king was not at all certain that they were entirely on the same wave as the words continued to flow. Still, now was not the time to show anything other than a united front, and hopefully they would have a chance in the future to discuss what had shifted.
When the Stalwart wound down there was silence among the rulers, patient and waiting for rebuttal or disengagement, but as it stretched on with no further questions or concerns forthcoming, the Tidebreaker raised his voice once more. "When we know more, we will share it," he promised. "If you have suggestions, please come to us. If you would volunteer for militia training, meet here tomorrow morning at ten." He nodded to those gathered and made himself comfortable in the water, planning to stay awhile and listen to anyone who wanted to come up and speak to them one-on-one before putting his head together with Harper to make further plans.
