Hello Ray, the merman greeted through the bond, pleased to see the apothecary again, and impressed, too, with her punctuality. I am well. And yourself? The standard greeting, but he asked it with genuine curiosity and a quiet sincerity, waiting for her answer before he continued.
I hope we can help each other, he rumbled in return with a tilt of his head. We will be going deep, first. There are certain fish down in the dark that may be of use to you. And I must collect sand for Safrin there. He lifted himself a little ways out of the water and then sank down until he was submerged and looking up at Ray from below the surface. He extended a hand to her, beckoning her down with him.
