Hadama listened to Jack. Really listened. He'd asked for the human's advice and now that the captain was giving it the Merfolk King was carefully considering each word, comparing it to what he already knew and could verify.
Torchline was not lawless, but the laws certainly seemed to be few and far between. Which hadn't stopped it from being one of the largest and most successful cities in the world as near as Dama could tell, and he sipped the last of his own drink thoughtfully. He crooked a finger at their server and murmured an order for the liquor he intended to gift before turning his emerald eyes on Jack and contemplating him anew. "It sounds," he began, choosing each word with care, "as though Torchline's humans do not need a ruler?" Or at least, that was what he took from the man's words, though he was uncertain that he was understanding the captain correctly.
