There is no shame in survival
Only strength

Kaiden froze mid-nod. "What happened to your voice? Did you swallow a bee?" The mer put a hand to their chin, eyes squinting, "I heard that you leg-people occasionally do that." But for the life of them, the mer couldn't imagine why. Why would anyone want to put something sharp and inedible in their mouth. To each their own, they supposed.

Refocusing, Kaiden shook their head. "No treasure. But seafood for red meat. There's a colony of oysters nearby. I can get you some. There might even be pearls." They pointed at the captain before pointing at themselves, "And you give me more red meat. Deal?" It was completely unfair that legged fools could have their choice of meats while Kaiden was restricted.
