A nod was of little meaning to him if it was to be followed by foolish false accusations. However the fact he didn't lash out was proof he held some respect for her status and people. They were not to blame. Amazonians didn't build these oil-spewing machines funded by greed and carelessness. Nor did Superman. The other man was ignored the same way the Amazonian was, as his words were meaningless and Orin did not know his purpose here.<br/><br/>So Aquaman turned to Superman, fixing him with a cold stare. Moons ago they'd stood side by side. They were fond memories, the Kryptonian fought with great honor. And now Orin repaid that alliance by listening to the calmer hero. Despite how angry he was he saw value in an opportunity to use these influential figures to make humanity change its greedy ways. And so the roar of the ocean dulled, calming from a whirlpool ready to swallow the rig whole to a tranquility in an instant.<br/><br/>"You all misunderstand my anger, it seems. I care not for the destruction of a single one of man's pillaging machines. I care for the hundreds of others still continuing. Each one is a bomb hanging over my lands, waiting to destroy what I am sworn to defend. Do you all expect that I would stand idle while humans ignored my warnings and requests? I gave chances. Investigate all you like, but mine is already complete. Mankind are guilty of the genocide of all beings of the ocean."<br/><br/>While Orin was younger than any of the others it was clear these were the words of a king who cared for his people. There was a great deal of emotion to everything he spoke of. Humanity had a poor history of mistreating the oceans, and now they had a more powerful guardian conflict was inevitable. He brushed aside the insults of the Amazonian and the stranger and faced all three at once.<br/><br/>"I have no war with any of you. But it's become clear to me now that mankind will not listen to me. Perhaps the three of you can change that. Believe what you want about me but do not think I long for a war with humans. I just will not stand idly by while I and my people are the victims of them. Nuclear tests, waste dumping, over-fishing, vast engines pumping chemicals out. These accidents which are written off by their elite as 'Worthwhile'. It all stops."<br/><br/>He let the ultimatum hang in the air. He was no longer raising the trident but there was no doubt in his willingness to come to blows over this if he had to. He had at least given an offer of sorts, although finding a way to make demands that steep happen would be a challenge.
