"You can change your clothes here," Sirimoro said with his hands on the edge of the pool, his voice sounding as if he were singing, "since your office has been removed from the task list and you betrayed your employer, you definitely won't have any commissions in the future. You might as well join me for a swim."
"You sure have good information," Hanna retorted.
"The water knows everything."
Sirimoro rubbed his chin, looking up at Hanna, "Why not just join the mermaids? Although you're not a Sea Demon and can't become one of the Ten Sea Witches, I'd value and use your talents, and I'd conduct the bubble ritual for you!"
"Thanks for the offer," Hanna said with irritation, "but I don't have anyone I love, and I'm not interested in losing my voice."
