Since he was helping Flora out, it only felt right to also help Maeve. Hadama took the coming War more seriously than many other merfolk, and seeing how the humans prepared might, he hoped, give him ideas for how to help his fellows in the Underwater City. So it was that the manta broke the surface of the canal and shifted to the half-man who was familiar to Maeve as he nodded a greeting and waited for the others to arrive so they could begin.
After considering the three lists, he chose List one with his usual un-mer-like penchant for fire. There was little that seemed to be necessary to say, so with another nod for Maeve he headed off down the canal towards the market, careful to hold his paper out of the water.
The first item were candles; he'd learned about them at the Festival of Lights, and he swam for a ways until he found a shop close enough to the water for him to deal with. Instead of goods he bartered his service to collect several large deepsea fish for the candlemaker in exchange for the delivery of a large quantity of her candles to the Halenani within the hour.
Hadama takes List One and bargains with a candlemaker, trading a promise of fish for a large delivery of candles to the Haulani.
