Immediately as Kalkat stepped up to her, Taizee would draw her buddy into a long, tight hug, during which the hobgoblin could vividly feel the additions the tummy full of sahuagin-meat had added to the mermaid, in the form of a fulller busom, wider hips and a general, if very slight increase in the softness of her flesh. Eventually letting go again after having given a quiet, "It's good to see you again! ... I was a little worried", the mer would look to the brunette, give a little smile and a nod, before taking a deep, needy breath as she prepared to raise her voice and address the whole crowd.<br/><br/>"So uhm... As I am sure everyone is aware, the ship is probably going to sink before making it all the way to land, so the captain ordered us uh, amphi-... ocean-born crewmembers to help get everyone who can't swim to shore safe and sound! ... T-the issue is that I don't think I can carry more than one person on my back without it hampering my swimming too much, maybe two people if you don't weigh much or are carrying a lot, so... T-the best option kinda seems to be carrying everyone right here!", Tai exclaimed with a bit of a fluster as she patted her human tum, not very used to speaking before a crowd. "I can probably fit three people safely in my human stomach without it hampering my movement too much, and if we just wait until the ship actually goes down, there should be no chance for me to actually accidentally digest anyone, a-as Kalkat would attest to! ... And uh, if we wait for the ship to go down, we aqua- buh, difficult words... The ones among us who can breathe under water can also make sure the swimmers among the crew actually make it to shore as well, and aren't attacked by anything, dragged down with an undertow or something like that! That's uhm... At least what I think we should do!"
