Avoiding the potential for the situation to be as it developed into is a prime reason Lang had volunteered to work on the hull from outside. But amateur work done underwater is far too little for damage this extensive. To say nothing of how doomed a ship with a broken keel is at the end of the day.<br/><br/>Even for the folks where drowning isn't an immediate concern, being adrift at sea is still just as deadly. Just not as pressing. Taizee's comment that she can eat literally everyone on board, while still glutted from that evening, does get at least one reaction. "Telling people you'll eat them so they can avoid a death by drowning isn't going to calm anyone."<br/><br/>It's a real shame that Lang didn't get to glut herself too when she and Taizee get called in to use their mass and amphibious nature to hold the ship together without the risk of rising water drowning them. She'd have been a better weight if she was as gorged as the mermaid. "Better I do than don't." is the simple way she puts her answer.<br/><br/>Once she gets herself settled down above the damage on the ad hoc bedding Lang beckons Taizee closer. "I know you have reason to avoid me from that episode when Quigo tried to set us up back on Redscale, but you're not doing much good up there when the damage is over here. You won't get pregnant from literally just sleeping with me."
