"Had they not seen seals? Or walruses? They look a little more like them but I suppose since I grew up with the mermaids as well as the manatees then I knew the difference." What a thing to write in the next set of letters she won't get to send home. Dear all, did you know there's a place where they confused manatees for mermaids? I'm as tickled as you are! It'll be one of the more light-hearted letters stacked beneath the floorboards of her shared home.
Araceli's not good enough to get the coin to go up her sleeve the way an artist is but she can catch it neatly from a very high spin and pocket it again with a pleased little smile. "We all make our living how we will - I was a thief after all. My kind of thieving made me an escape artist I think but you're talking about something very different." She thinks. Unless people watch thieves doing their work? Spyglasses perhaps? What an intriguing idea.
What a world with less expensive metal, she can picture the faces of so many merchants she's known over the years. "All our metals come from one place where the veins and seams run deep through their lands and they find more and more, it sets the price how we all set prices for some things and when travels to us by sea? Expensive. An electric engine is such a strange idea. Lights and some other things but we power ours with wind or water. If you don't have the sea like us you have rivers and even if you don't? There's still the wind." Turning to face Waver more, she tips her head to the side slightly, weighing up if she wants to say what she's thinking of or not. "So much of it for us is the journey for the sake of the journey. This sounds very - I don't know if purposeful is the right word? It's the only one I can think of."
