After a lot of banter which ultimately led to all of us having a big banquet together in the dining room, which actually had a bubble of air so mermen can enjoy the flavors of food better, we continued talking about the current situation of the Aquarose Kingdom.
Also, I learned most houses had these bubbles of air when eating, mermen seem to have figured out that eating underwater barely gives you any proper flavor of the food. Also cooking food and other things is mostly impossible, quite smart, I have to admit that.
The food they served was rather delicious and varied, and full of color. Giant clams with sweet meat gently grilled, roasted fish of all kinds of colors, they often kept the scales which the mermen ate anyways, and the heads too.
