Hadama considered his friend's words and then gave a slight shake of his head. "It does not have to be limited to armor that is worn," he pointed out after some thought. "It could be used to create an armored door to a shelter for our people. Or a shield that could be used by more than one person." No different than a mounted weapon or one that could be carried. "But I do not know of many creatures that are weak to ice, specifically."
A trickle of bemusement mixed with quiet humor washed through the Bond and the Tidebreaker returned his eyes to the stars above. "I am always cautious" he agreed. "It can be vexing to the younger Mer." And his younger human friends as well. "But I was considering that we already have ties to both lands. And remembering how Torchline has aided Halo in the past." In some ways repeating Harper's thoughts in a different way, since the mermanta was not privy to all of his co-leader's internal reasoning.
The starlight filtered gently down on them like a blessing and the mermanta tilted his head at Harper's question, taking his time to consider the gentle parry before he gave his own thoughts. "If the agreement for asylum was with Maeve and not Torchline, then would their willingness to help her prepare for the War be from loyalty to her, rather than Torchline... or us?" The logic cut both ways, at least to Hadama's mind. Either way at least one of Halo's Wardens was his friend, and the conversation was one of academic disagreement moreso than one with any heat behind it.
Especially since time was not particularly of the essence. The Tidebreaker inclined his head in agreement with Harper's suggestion, emerald eyes sparkling at his friend's grin. "I hope they do not. Or, for the sake of fairness, we can wait until we have enough tumseashells to trade with them both at the same time." That would be in Flowerbirth. Not so very long away now. "But I agree. Let us speak to them both and then see where the currents flow from there."
