[When the feed focuses on mal he's suited up and looking businesslike, although there's a slight hint of amusement on his face.]

Well I'm bettin' the ol' Fishwife's happy.

Wrecks like that gotta have a lot left in 'em the crew didn't have time to save. Anyone, uh, feel like headin' out and checkin' up on what's there?

Anyone?

[Sandoval is feeling celebratory and generous.

Not really, he just got tired of carrying little tiny loads of gold and whatever else of interest.]

There's a salvageable wreck by what looks like an old temple. There are gold coins in it and an exceptionally friendly merman.

Tell me a little bit 'bout this merman. You say he ain't the type to get huffed up over people visiting?

I don't know. He looked like someone from the ship, though. Or a couple of someones. It's hard to tell, anymore.

Not from the waist down.

[And this makes wanting sex really, really awkward, Mal. You have no idea!] But I'll meet you near the ship.

Not gonna make a huge difference to me if it won't to you. But I'll find you off the deck.

[And she's there waiting for him, but her skirt covers what seems to be a segmented tail starting at the waist. Small legs poke out either side, flickering up and down in a wavey motion to propel her through the water.]
