If Hadama was surprised that Flora offered to help him first, he didn't show it. Dipping his head in gratitude he watched his two dryland friends head off on their hunts while he swam more slowly through the canals, thinking.
There weren't many vendors selling games near the canals; it made a certain sense, if they didn't want pieces ending up in the water and lost before they could even be bought. It only meant that he had to look a little harder, and enlist the help of a few passersby to point him in the right direction and then get the attention of a woman who was willing to come out of her shop and show him some of her selection.
Green eyes lit up as she brought out one particular board of slate scored with lines to make small squares on its surface, and a bag of mixed dark stones and pale shells. Hadama nodded firmly and some trinkets changed hands. Swimming back to the meeting place he was quietly pleased as he displayed the Go board to the two women.
Hadama secures a Go board and pieces!
