HARPER
Socializing has clearly bolstered his mood by the time he returns, so he playfully returns Andromeda's clear sizing up as she reports back her own find. He may not be in the mindset required for real flirtation, but he has always been naturally charming and complimentary, and she is undoubtedly beautiful.
Escorting the two mer to the location he'd found, he's pleased when Hadama clearly sees the vision he has in mind. There is much to be done of course, but that would have happened regardless of the location they picked. "I'll speak to the merchants," he offers readily, not just because of his natural charm but because it will surely make it easier on his aquatic fellows to not have to wave the sellers over to the water and remove them from their work. Heading for the fruit seller first, Harper waves slightly and approaches with a smile.
"Hello there. Can I barter some watermelon in exchange for bending your ear?" He won't steal her time without due payment, plus it will be a nice treat to share with Andromeda and Hadama as they all work. "We're looking to install a rum fountain and were considering that empty spot there. It'll likely make the area a lot busier - good for business, but potentially a hassle. Would you have any concerns about that?" If she has few workers she may object, but increased foot traffic when you don't have a similar product to sell is usually only a boon. Still, he phrases the question intentionally in the hopes of inspiring actual answers instead of general griping from the woman - just in case.
