"Sounds like the workings of a deal to me," Amanda said. She lifted the shield under her arm and hauled it over to her boat, placing it carefully in the bottom. "What would you be looking for in exchange? I can offer to buy a good amount of medicinal plants and jewelry, even set up regular shipments back and forth. I know people who run shipping out of the docks, so they can ship it to...well..."
She thought about that for a second. She didn't really know where merfolk lived, and she was sure a boat from the surface couldn't reach whatever cities they had underwater.
"...to wherever you want them to meet," she finished. "So it's just a question of what I can bring you in exchange. What would you be interested in buying?" She leaned against her boat, which rested against the beach, held firmly by the rope. She had no idea what goods a merman would want in exchange, but whatever it was, she was confident she could get it.
