Finished with her examination, Amanda sat on the end of the rock outcropping, letting her legs dangle in the water. "At least they're accepting of it," she said. "I've never met anyone who wanted to have magic if they weren't born with it. I mean, I wouldn't trade mine for the world, but it comes with a hefty price. And fuck all the gods for that."
She realized after saying it that the merman might be offended, considering he'd been praying to one of the gods.
But she'd said what she'd said, and she wasn't going to take it back.
"Thanks for the help. This looks like it'll serve my purpose. Soon as I get the first...shipment in, I'll get you those crates. And I'll have more where those came from, if you know anyone looking to strike a deal." She was eager to continue working on building trade connections with the merfolk society. It could be quite a market for her.
