You tilt your head at the young mermaid, opening your mouth to explain what family jewels means and then thinking better of it. "Uh... in a sense, sure." Technically what's inside would be passed on to your kids so yeah. Heirlooms. Millions upon millions of sticky little heirlooms.
Oh, so the seaweed is medicinal. "Fascinatin'. Sure, I'll take th'help." You walk toward where she waits in the water, looking over her tail with open curiosity. "Can't say I've met a lot'a mers. What brings ya way up here?"
Settling down onto a rock you let her wrap her wound. She has a lot to say, and it's a unique opportunity to ask questions about your elusive neighbors. And when you finally leave with a wave and a smile, you feel maybe a little better about the fucking canals.
Just a little.
