Quigo and Lang basically didn't even need to go anywhere to catch the upset mermaid, as she would have to walk right by them to exit through the main entrance, which she would try to do after preparing herself. Taizee was after all very naive, and not only didn't she beleive that Quigo would embelish the truth, much less lie, she also had great confidence in herself, saw no reason why more humanoid or shadowy imp attackers would assail her on the trip, and certainly beleived she could make it back before nightfall, as long as she hustled along.<br/><br/>The primary reason she was so upset about the possibility of having gotten herself impregnated already was mostly because she knew what would happen if she got pregnant. With her womb located in her human torso, as with the rest of her female kin, and the merfolk's much greater than human frequency of birthing twins, triplets and quadruplets, coupled with their long meaty tails of even their babies, a pregnancy could make one's belly swell to very impractical degrees, if you were unlucky. But most importantly in the case of an accidental pregnancy, Tai didn't think she could push herself onwards on her adventure, and risk the lives of her children as well as her own. And, to give her kids as good an upbringing as possible, in their natural enviroment, she was certain she would have to dive back down to the depths, find her kin and home, give birth there and leave the kids in their care, before receiving any punishment the elders and priests deemed just, and probably never return from the terrifying darkness again.
