Now, being a deep-sea mermaid Taizee would of course never admit to being afraid of the dark, nor would she disclose how open water kinda made her feel uncomfortable, at least not to surface-dwellers. And especially not when they seemed so ready to jump into the ocean themselves, like Kalkat, for example. Besides, they had their boat closeby, so how bad could it be? Thus, with a strained little smile and a quick nod, Tai would lean over the railing and dive in under the waves, more than dexterous enough to not make much of a splash despite her large tail, and unfamiliarity with diving in this sense of the word.<br/><br/>Then, below the waves Tai took a quick, cursory glance around and downwards, not seeing much of anything, and promptly focusing back on the fisherman who quickly joined her in the water. And this stumped the mermaid for a second, as she hadn't actually ever eaten any humanoids just treading water by the surface. How could she teach how her kin went about this if she didn't know herself?<br/><br/>Long story short, Kalkat would feel the swirling currents and see shifting glow of Taizee's partially obscured lure in the water below him as she thought things through, before he would suddenly feel a pair of hands grab at his ankles, and as he ordered, roughly pulled him beneath the waves, only for Tai to then let go, swim upwards behind his back, then try to come from above with her maw wide agape in over his head.<br/><br/><div style="padding: 3px; background-color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #d8d8d8; font-size: 1em;"><div style="text-transform: uppercase; border-bottom: 1px solid #CCCCCC; margin-bottom: 3px; font-size: 0.8em; font-weight: bold; display: block;"><span onclick="if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display != '') {  this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = ''; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;hide&lt;/a&gt;'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;show&lt;/a&gt;'; }"><b>Spoiler: </b><a href="#" onclick="return false;">show</a></span></div><div class="quotecontent"><div style="display: none;">Rolled a solid 1, for a total of 5 on Tai's perception check: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="https://orokos.com/roll/721597">https://orokos.com/roll/721597</a><!-- m --> to make sure the coast was clear for such tomfoolery underwater</div></div></div>
