Taizee was left momentarily stunned, she could have sworn she had put the sylph's clothes carefully down into her own 'backpack' for safekeeping, as she had assumed he had requested, with her being his new 'lifeboat' and all! But oh well, guess she had forgotten to properly fasten the top flap, and the coat and hat just fell back out? With another sailor picking them up and evidently taking responsability for the items it really wasn't necessary to worry about it anymore.<br/><br/>Nodding a bit to the sylph she still held up infront of herself, partially resting his weight upon her rounded, swollen human tum, Tai mused, "Okies then! But don't complain if you end up riding upside down the whole way to shore!", as she shifted her grip of her 'limp' passenger, planting  both hands on his hips to simply slide him upwards along her belly and guide him in head first! And so, without the need of popping her jaws free, the man would feel the soft insides of the deep-sea mermaid's stretchy maw envelop his face, cutting off the light that had been streaming into that flexing gullet a moment before! He did of course not need light to see on account of his ancestry, so he would still be able to vividly see that rippling gullet relax and open up to accomodate his form.<br/><br/>Though her totally smart plan had been shut down, Tai still wanted to provide as comfortable a ride as she could, so once she had wriggled her jaws in over the sylph's shoulders, upper chest and upper arms with a low, happy hum, the mer would slowly start to hoist the man's lower half up into the air, until what remained of him in the outside world was pointing vertically down into Taizee's greedy gob! From there, she just let him slowly slide on in, granted he succeeded in calming his nerves and remain somewhat limber, so there would be minimal impact between her two passangers rapidly swelling and bloating out the mer's human stomach even further!<br/><br/>If everything went off without a hitch, Tai's tum would soon be sagging down close to the ground in her resting position, and after a few seconds to catch her breath after slowly pushing the sylph's feet in past her lips, and taking that final swallow, the mermaid would turn to Kalkat, who had been motioning to her midsection, and ask, "W-what is it? Do I have a bug on me again?" as she proceeded to run her hands across her expansive middle.
