Curiosity killed the catfish, as the saying went, but Hadama seemed willing to risk it for the chance to try these fabled 'sweets' and he moved with slow but certain intent. He was careful to swim at a pace that Melita could easily match and that wouldn't interrupt their conversation however, especially when green eyes alit on the mysteriously sentient Fangorn with bright fascination.
He held his questions back for the moment as the honeybee girl sang the recipe and praises of pastry dough and Hadama heard a number of words that were not usually spoken of underwater.

He swam to the edge of the canal closest, nose filling with unusual and delicious scents, and he gave a slow, fervent nod. "Thank you. I would." He watched the current customer exchange a few small items with the baker, and then reached up to take off one of his several earrings, offering it to Mel. "I would like to offer Ludo something exotic this year, too. Perhaps this will pay for my share? The earring was shaped from shining cold forged copper, and engraved with a design of tiny twisting kelp leaves and bubbles.
