Aster found it absurd that she had to pay quite a bit of money to enjoy cooked seafood when she used to have an abundance of these creatures for free in her waters. Albeit, there had been times when the resources were scarce what with humans taking more than they needed. Nevertheless, even for a fishing town, this was a bit too much. It was a good thing the food was good, otherwise she wouldn’t come here every once in a while.

After she had ordered her meal, she crossed her fingers together and rested her chin on them, regarding Cyrena calmly.

While some become better risk takers from this experience, others would become more cautious. I can’t really say she’s doing anything wrong seeing as her sea is thriving and her sirens are recovering from the sickness. Call it what you may, luck or fate, she seems to be doing a great job regardless. Just because someone doesn’t agree with your methods doesn’t mean they don’t deserve to be heard out,” she said, taking a sip of her water. “Anyway, how have you been?”
