Having had limited time exploring and experiencing the world above the waves, Taizee didn't pay the odd silence anything more than a passing thought as she slithered ahead with her shield half raised. Maybe sometimes all the creatures along the roads went someplace else! In the sea there were huge daily migrations of plankton and that which fed on them and their predators again with the rising and setting of the sun, after all! Still, with the lot of them having been attacked by brigands on the way up, the mermaid was tense, despite the quiet, and kept on looking up into the trees.<br/><br/>Back down in Shrikeslee Tai would finally ease up her grip on her shield a little, even with the slight hint of smoke in the air, which to her didn't really mean much. Discovering the source of the scent and taking in Lang's rather worried reaction to it, Taizee asks, "So, it's not supposed to be cooked like this? ... Y-you don't think those shadowy things appeared again and got them?", before inspecting the charcoal fish, testing it for edibility, before giving the room in the jail a little look over, just to catch any obvious sign of struggle before following on after Lang for her plan of action.
