Amanda considered the offer for a moment. She supposed it made sense that someone who lived in the ocean would have experience cleaning off the grime of the sea. "I don't suppose any of your ingredients there are good for cleaning off this muck?" She lifted the decorative shield to show him some of the dark stains. The coat of arms was still obscured by the grime. She wondered if it belonged to one of the more prosperous families in the area. That could lead to the shield having greater value than she'd first anticipated.
She wiped the sweat from her brow. There was still an unseasonable chill in the air, but putting out the effort at scrubbing the shield was still enough for her to work up a sweat. She glanced again at the merman. Did merfolk sweat, she wondered? He didn't seem uncomfortable, from what she could see, though it was possible she just didn't know the signs to look for.
"Anything else you're searching for besides ingredients?" she asked as she continued to work her magic on the grime. She had a good amount of scavenge in her boat, and she was always looking to make a profitable trade. She hadn't the slightest clue what sort of trade goods a merman would be interested in, but in her experience, if someone wanted something, she could usually get it.
