Hadama was gratified with how the bridge came together and he tilted his head in acknowledgment of Jude's compliment. "You will be able to as well, when you are older," he reassured the boy. If he had even a fraction of his mother's strength he would grow into a strong man indeed one day.
But that mother was ready to finish the bridge's construction, it seemed, as the poles looked properly and firmly set. The mermanta gathered the long stretch of wood and rope and swam with it over to where Phoebe waited. He watched her thread the end of the rope and then nodded at her instruction, pulling himself partially out of the water so he could comfortably follow suit with the ropes that attached the plank-side of the bridge to the lower portion of the support posts.
Hadama brings the bridge over and ties off the bottom ropes!
