[[OOC: been a bit busier than I had hoped, as such I haven't been able to update this until now. Seems the battle has moved on to a stopping point, so I shall quickly get in more or less what had been planned so that we may get back to the ship and be moving on once everyone is good and ready. ]]<br/><br/><br/><div style="padding: 3px; background-color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #d8d8d8; font-size: 1em;"><div style="text-transform: uppercase; border-bottom: 1px solid #CCCCCC; margin-bottom: 3px; font-size: 0.8em; font-weight: bold; display: block;"><span onclick="if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display != '') {  this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = ''; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;hide&lt;/a&gt;'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;show&lt;/a&gt;'; }"><b>Spoiler: </b><a href="#" onclick="return false;">show</a></span></div><div class="quotecontent"><div style="display: none;">Looking to the mermaid with concern, Xarces was worried at first that something terrible may have been going on, though after she explains, and as his hand rests gently upon the soft flesh of her human stomach, Xarces chuckles lightly as he begins to understand just what happened to be troubling her. "Come now, I'm sure it's not that bad....at least she's not causing you any pain." he consoles the mermaid while at the same time offering a few firm strokes against her tum. <br/><br/>Alizome calling out from within would remind him of his initial reasoning for coming down here, and after giving it some thought he realizes that yes they should be headed back to the surface. For it seemed the battle above was just about finished, more then that Xarces would begin running out of air if he delays too much longer without stealing a further kiss from the beautiful mermaid. It is then that he makes up his mind, the most suitable and quickest method to get Alizome to the surface. <br/><br/>"Allow me to take care of everything... the elf will settle.... in time." he assures the mermaid while reaching out to rest his hands firmly on her hips once more. He then presses forward, sealing lips against her own in one final act of passion. His lips spread, stealing a breathe, as his tongue plummets into the depths of her mouth. Just as his lips slide up and over her head, ushering her into the tight embrace of the celestial's throat. His wings resume their hold, stroking over her back in a soothing manner, as he steadily works her shoulders in past the brink of his mouth. The soft, heated flesh of his throat squeezing down around her head, pulling and tugging assertively as he begins to swallow her down. <br/><br/>The fork of his tongue dances across her flesh, curling in against her nipple as he offers her breasts a thorough cleaning. Pulling them into his mouth his cheeks would bulge outwards, the bard moaning at her taste as he suckles and slurps at her delightful mounds. The sensation of his slick dexterous tongue soon replaced by the rippling squeeze wet muscle, his esophagus rolling eagerly against each and every inch of her impressive bust. Being submerged Xarces finds this process to be much easier than normal, as he licks and laps across her elf filled tummy, lapping along the curves of Alizome's body. His taste buds tingling as they traverse the gap of flesh and scale. Hands roaming over her scaled backside would offer a firm little squeeze, just as he sinks his lengthy tongue deep into the fleshy canal which his cock had so recently filled. Getting a taste of her fluids, of those past and present as it seemed Alizome had kept her body busy in a constant state of arousal, an endless loop of orgasm. <br/><br/>The challenging part comes as his lips wrap around the bulge in her middle. Pressing and squeezing Alizome within as her works the compacted meal into his mouth, and with considerable effort he even manages to see her being squeezed slowly down the length of his throat. The pressure would surely be great as both belly and throat muscles press and squeeze against the elven meal within. The mermaid for her part would be ushered into her own personal pond, as her hear pushed down into the water filled chamber of the bard's belly, it having been impossible for him to swallow her down without taking in a bit of her natural habitat.... at least most of it was sure to be water. <br/><br/>After spending several moments pleasuring her with his tongue, he tilts his head back and swallows hard. Slurping down her powerful tail with relative ease, the scales sliding smoothly past his lips till he offers one final suckling lick to the pretty fluke of her tail before sealing her away. Her beautiful body forced to curl and compact within his bulging belly, as Xarces offers a firm pat and a content burp before speaking. "Mmmmnn that was delightful...but I really must be getting to the surface, I do hope you don't mind that I take you with me darling." he would say, though he'd not really given her too much choice in the matter given the time frame he was under. With that Xarces begins to swim for the surface, ready to be back on dry land, to amble onto the ship and seek refuge below deck.</div></div></div>
