Hadama only nodded once in agreement of Kaiden's opinion of the star, and a quiet wavelet of agreement returned through the bond, subtle enough to be easily missed in the mershark's sudden preoccupation. Meanwhile Hadama studied the star; it was the largest he had seen yet, and the brightest, and he nodded again in satisfaction.
Kaiden's forgiveness was met with a solemn tilt of the King's head, his own amusement well-hidden from the bond. Even before Kingship he had been a quiet, controlled man, and taking the throne had only trained those traits further out of necessity.
It is, he agreed, a little surprised but pleased that Kaiden had asked him. The star will wait until we are done. And that way it wouldn't have to be carried around in the thrash of a spar. Whether a sea star could get seasick was not a question he had any interest in answering.
Would you prefer shifts, or weapons? A courteous question as he set his gathering bag and tools aside from his harness, leaving them to rest in the sandy oasis that Kaiden had found amidst the sharp coral.
