The last item up for auction is the Pearl of the Merpeople. I hear it costs a fortune! Come on. Take me there so that I can broaden my horizons."

So I tell it the way I have learned to tell things when they matter, which is slowly, in order, with the exact weight each part deserves and no more. I tell him about the marriage.
