Hadama had been waiting for the notice, and had made sure it was posted clearly in the Underwater City. These were the sorts of projects he hoped to encourage and foster, though it certainly helped that Ray was his friend as well.
On the day it was scheduled he moved more slowly than Kaiden, both due to his own dignity and the drag from the large net full of tough brown and green kelp that he hauled behind him. The long stems and trailing leaves could be used to weave a number of useful things underwater, and they were easy to repair and replace as sections wore out over time.
He surfaced near Kaiden just in time to hear the mershark's brusque demand, and the King considered his fellow Mer thoughtfully for a moment. He made no admonition, however, simply turning to nod deeply to Ray in respect. "Ray. A pleasure. I have looked forward to this."
