There is no shame in survival
Only strength

Kaiden nodded firmly, internally perking up. "That is acceptable." They'd never had ningo before and the promise of meat had them licking their lips.

Although the woman's following response made what few hairs they had on their neck stand up, Kaiden shoved it down and instead let out a 'tsk', "He'd find out." They couldn't help but petulantly grumble under their breath, "He always seems to know whenever I do anything." There seemed to be no escaping the King's keen eyes. No doubt, Hadama would hear about this particular encounter a well.

The mer ground their teeth after giving over the chalice, "Not enough?" She was greedy. How annoying. "Fine. Give me a second." Diving back down, Kaiden browsed the sunken treasure for shiny things. It took a few trips but soon the mer had thrown various items onto the boat's deck. If any hit the crew, the mershark wouldn't hold back their laughter. The items presented included a few necklaces, a small trunk of gold, and a large ruby that had barely fit in the palm of their hand. Surely that was enough.

"Satisfied? Now pay up, or I'll sink your ship next."
