The King's brow creased upon hearing that a human had attacked merfolk, and with a weapon no less. The crease deepened upon hearing just why the air-breather had been so incensed, and Hadama gave a sharp nod of agreement to Andromeda's points. None of his people should have needed to steal, which meant that Kaiden was choosing to do so. And in so doing, had endangered a member of the Tidebreaker's court.
Of course, there were two other sides of the story yet to hear, but now he knew that they were worth looking into.
And while he didn't begrudge Andromeda her pique, that didn't mean he wanted to be on the receiving end of the tantrum. Nor was he expecting the impulsive blast of magic that she suddenly unleashed. His reaction was too slow to dodge the blast of air completely, and the mermanta grunted as it impacted his shoulder with bruising force.
It was the king's turn to react without thinking as he reached out with his water magic to try and freeze the ocean around the merbetta to keep her in place while he considered the situation.
