Tรกsi's attempt at smiling earns a smile from Billie in return. She's talking to a mermaid. She's talking to a mermaid. This is basically a childhood dream come true, even as the fact that she, who, by all appearances, looks to be a random dockhand, now has to play translator sinks in.

"I've spent enough time at sea to know you weren't offering poison," she admits, even if she hadn't known exactly what they actually were. The eels would have been far more colorful had they been toxic. "I'm Billie."
