"Andromeda, what--" Hadama began, easing the grip of his ice magic as soon as he realized that he was hurting his fellow Mer. Her growled wail was almost like a spell itself, one that melted the icy prison around her as the King pulled back his power.
His distraction was such that he barely had time to react as a second blast was launched towards him, but the mermanta was not one to be struck by the same trick twice. He pulled the water around him to the front of his body in an angled shield that froze just in time to deflect the airy attack. The ice was clear enough for the mermanta to watch the noblewoman who had become his opponent warily through it, and he held his defense intact this time as he considered her. "Are you hurt?" he rumbled cautiously.
