JACK
Jack smiled internally, already able to read that their deal had been sealed, and he nodded and took the sunglasses from his nose, folding them shut and holding them out over the edge of the pier. "Toss up the compass and I'll drop 'em to you. Then if you swim over there," here he nodded across the docks to a ship with russet sails bleached by the sunlight, "I can get the whiskey for you as well. How's that sound?" Because deal or not, he wasn't leaving without his compass as a show of good faith.
Further trading did not sound like a bad idea, and Jack grinned down at the mermaid. "Sure," he said. "What'd you normally find in the water? Call me Jack, by the way."
