Harper nods towards the only man he doesn’t know when Hadama speaks, happy to debate civilly even though he has little knowledge of the man’s culture or home. “I won’t say your concerns are unfounded, but how many visitors alone do you receive in your kingdom? Even Attuned individuals can only visit if their soul happens to reflect an animal that can remain below the surface for substantial amounts of time. We cannot account for every eventuality, nor protect every inch of Torchline, but I think we can safely assume that the war’s presence has a higher likelihood of being on land. Population alone, and number of Old God followers on land as opposed to beneath the sea need to be taken into account.” But his rebuttals, for all he believes in them, are not without empathy. “Just as it’s hard for you to help on land, it’s hard for us to provide assistance below. There is still time before war is to come - perhaps we can discuss a better way for non-mers to travel below to you?” A mass harvesting of manta crystals, or another quest from Safrin.
As for the location, well he has no rebuttals there. He has given his piece on the choice in location, and doesn’t want to turn this into a volley between him and Hadama alone, giving space for others to say anything else.
