Despite the way the air burned his throat and his lungs expanding in his chest ached, he was thankful for it. Thankful that he hadn’t drowned in his escape from te mermanta’s next attack.Thankful, also, that his friend had seen the natural end to their spar. Treading water still, Noah nodded towards Hadama. ”One drink before I head back to Halo.” The Sentinel agreed, tipping his head thankfully.
And it was just one drink, but it was a merry one. Noah laughed with the mer, updated him on how the twins and his wife were doing (ok, so be bragged at how amazing and smart and advanced his infants were, as all fathers would), then finally thumbed the compass within his pocket and landed in the Citadel. Then he used his magic to transport him home, before he froze to death.
