Hadama needed no further excuse and he turned towards the Court, beginning their journey. He wasn't a fast swimmer by the estimation of most younger, sleeker Mer with shark or dolphin shifts, but he was a strong one, and even though he moderated his pace to suit his companion Harper would still need to stretch his legs to keep up.
Harper's understanding of what the mermanta so often left unsaid made conversing with the human easy. The mermanta nodded in thoughtful agreement to the other man's words as he slid through the starlit waters of the canal with minimal effort, a dark and graceful shape in the night. "Indeed." The gap had already begun to narrow before this, but how to hasten the process without damaging something irreparably on either side along the way...?
That was where the creativity would need to come in.
But Hadama held to the same optimism as Harper. If it could be done, he was determined that they would find the way.
His worry for Maeve could have been only a pale shadow of her mate's concerns, and the freshly-crowned King nodded again in acceptance of Harper's promise and intentions. "And your own?" A quiet question, simple and to the point in the mermanta's frank way.
