The mermaid would pat and rub her shifting, swollen tum reassuringly, producing a few sloshes and glurps in the process, as she half-nervously notes, "O-oh? Uhm, well, if it's only starting to itch now, I should be able to keep you guys from being fully digested for a good while longer! Maybe a whole day, if I can keep concentrating real hard! ... Oh! You mean to the shore? Uhm... About... Like a little bit? An hour or two maybe?"<br/><br/>Once they finally reached the shore, Taizee would dutifully, if still with great inexperience, start to push at the bottom of her gut, steadily work up one of her meals after the other and spitting them out into the shallows to wash up! Then, with a unpleasant grimace after spitting out her final passenger, the mer would just note, "Damn, now I'm hungry all of a sudden..." as she set about to help unload the heaviest cargo on the rowboats. When everything she didn't think the little folk were capable of safely getting to land on their own was handled, Tai would let out a tired sigh, only to turn back to the ship limping towards them and state, "Guess I'm going back to make sure everyone is going to be okay... Should you and I swim ahead of the returning rowboats Lang?"
