Xarces answer causes Linda some amount of silent vexation as her feeding frenzy upon hitting the water was seemingly what caused the swarm of mermaids to break and scatter. Which puts the blame for Alizome's disappearance on her. But her act of predation had saved the lives of much of the crew by way of making the mermaids afraid of slowing themselves down, lest they become another course in Linda's meal. That casts doubt on her internal debate over lives saved vs. the loss of a companion.<br/><br/>Heedless of that Adrastia's response to the question Linda posed was a welcome distraction. "You know, we might get along pretty well despite getting off on the wrong foot." Linda gives the surface of her stuffed tail a gentle pat to call attention to it. "I happen to like women with an appetite."<br/><br/>After a moments contemplation Linda adds. "Not to say I don't like other women of course. Especially as company after a meal. Anyway, I'm going to go change out of this wet robe before I get a chill." Barring any interruption Linda heads off below decks to do exactly that with the 'Lizardfolk servant' in tow. Making her way with surprising mobility for the combined mass of her cargo. Honestly not much mobility, but she's clearly able to get around pretty well for someone with five mermaids inside her.
