Aria flinches as at Alice's blunt words, and the three in her womb would feel her hands pull away from her bulging belly. "Kidnapping... know better..." the celophaid quavers, her voice, for once since they entered her, quiet and meek again.<br/><br/>"Y-you'll leave if I let you go... leave me alone..." she whispers at last, and alice and Ivalice and Jon would feel the walls squeezing down on them slightly again as Aria hugs her belly gingerly.<br/><br/>"I don't wanna be alone... even if I reform them, no one wants to stay with a predator... have to... it's the only way..." Aria's soft babble is scared, tense... desperate. Despite her size, perhaps she isn't very old herself...<br/><br/>0000000000000<br/><br/>Chell curses when she see's the tentacle yank Jon into the water. "Shit. That looks like an octopus tentacle. Probably a Celophaid, but I didn't expect to find one so BIG this close to the city..." Chell mutters, and fast forwards to show jon eventually coming back, finishing his job... then leaving the sub.<br/><br/>"Okay, what the heck: He gets yanked out of the sub, probably by a predator, yet he escapes and comes back afterwards?" Chell scratches her head. She glances at Steve.<br/><br/>"Most of the mer-folk living around here are on good terms with the city... they'd even warn us about nasty creatures or mer-folk! How did something this big get so close without anyone noticing? and what's the deal with Jon?"
