One could almost imagine that Hadama had arrived at one of Torchline's white-sand beaches on a day like this, if not for the ice floes bobbing along in the water a little ways out from their meeting place. The Tidebreaker pulled the water beneath him up so Noah would not have to crouch down quite so far, taking his friend's hand in greeting and gratitude as they caught up for a moment.
"Ah." The news of the twins caught him entirely off-guard and Hadama blinked, at a loss for words as he digested this turn of events. "That sounds... difficult," he rumbled in agreement, slow and careful with his words as he tried to imagine such an abrupt change to a parent's life.
Hadama was sunk in contemplation until Noah pulled him back from his thoughts and he began to swim slowly alongside the shore, heading away from the Citadel where the Wardens had likely cleared the void-touched threats to their people already. "Rae is..." he searched for the right words, unhurried but ultimately unable to settle in a simple adjective and choosing instead: "...formidable. They were not pleased with these new predators." He looked at the Forsaken from his lower perspective. "They were not a comforting god. But I am grateful for their decision to help Torchline." Neither was Vi said to be a comforting or comfortable god, either, as the mermanta considered Noah's own allegiance and experiences pursuing it.
"I would like to find one of the frostblooms today. It will be easier to keep contained until all of Rae's requirements are met," he explained to his friend and guide as they moved further into the water-logged Tundra.
