With the world in disarray, Hadama looked forward to his regular training sessions with Noah as points of stability. A chance to see his friend and take a step back from duty also made each visit a pleasure, no matter the bruises that might arise by the end of it.
This time, though, he had requested they mix pleasure with a small task: seeking out some of Vi's Roses while they trained their respective strengths. Doing so in the shade of the Mathair, seeking the goddess's blessing on their task, only seemed courteous to the visiting Mer, who finished his offering to the great tree where the waters lapped closest around her roots and then retreated from beneath her spreading canopy to a safer distance.
He had no desire to accidentally catch her in the crossfire of their sparring and earn her wrath.
The wind moved around him as he waited for his friend, half out of the water and working on his control over the air until Noah arrived. He had his trident and his armor, and once the demigod appeared the mermanta nodded, eyes glinting with quiet humor. "Welcome. Ready to begin?"
