Hadama followed his friend, swimming strongly to catch up but once Noah reached the surface there was little more for the Mer to do.

Indeed, the Tidebreaker agreed, relief that there was no greater injury than a few bruises and a fright joining the sincerity in his mental tone. A good match. As always. Noah was a reliable challenge and an excellent training partner who pushed the mermanta to his limits. Every time they sparred he learned something new from it, and he was thoroughly satisfied with the education.
He reached up to check the first bruise he'd received with a rueful twitch of his lips. Can I thank you with a meal at the Hanged Man? Though if the new father needed to get back to his family the King would completely understand.
