If their last attack was unsuccessful in knocking Hotaru into the water, it had still forced her to change form, calling upon her Attuned abilities rather than her Abandoned ones. And Evie had remained out of the water and safe upon her floe, leaving Hadama with a look of quiet satisfaction on his face that not even the Valkyrie's buffeting wings could wipe away as they brushed over his skin and hair.
He met Evie's grin with one of his own, unrepentant that they had fallen so easily back into their partnership and ended up ganging up on their teacher. Since Hotaru was more than a match for them, he felt no particular guilt over the results, though he was entirely willing to halt the training when the headmistress signaled it.
"Thank you, Hotaru," he rumbled, inclining his head deeply to the petite blond, and his gratitude encompassed more than just this single training session. "It has been my honor to be your student."
Evie's voice drew his attention back to the future headmistress and his solemn mien broke back into a warm smile. "Indeed. But I am looking forward to it." 'Strange' and 'new' were not bad, and he had full confidence in Evie's abilities as a teacher. For now, though, he added his water magic to hers, moving the frozen platforms back to land so the humans could disembark before he Aquaported himself back home to the warm waters of Torchline.
