Calliope
Calliope grinned triumphantly as the king made his judgement, feeling the eyes of every merfolk around her and loving the attention. As was perfectly just in the situation, Hadama pointed out the disparity in prices to prove Calliope's point, and the merchant spluttered to lower the price in response. After all she'd been through with this seller, however, Calliope was all too glad to be led away from them. She looked down at the mirror in her hands and set it back down on the merchant's display table before turning to Hadama.
Why, thank you, your Majesty, sir. I think I will take you up on that offer. Without a second glance at the merchant, Calliope swam up beside Hadama, waiting for him to lead the way. She looked up at the king with a winning smile, pleased with how the situation went for her.
