While swimming back to the swiftwind, Xarces would reflect on how enjoyable a lover, and how pleasurable a meal the mermaid had been. The taste of her flesh and scales still lingering on his tongue, as would the memory of that elven shaped bulge that had been so tightly packed within her middle. Alizome, he'd eaten her as well he realizes.... though this was essentially what she'd asked for wasn't it? He'd gotten them both to the surface in the quickest most efficient manner possible after all. Xarces knew her to be resilient when it came to the ministrations of a hungry belly, for as he enjoyed the mermaids company she'd seemed no worse for wear within her softly rumbling tum. He was sure she'd be just fine spending a while longer within his middle. Which was good, for as the mermaid beings to struggle and scream, Xarces would find the experience of her luscious body, prey filled belly, and powerful tail to be most enjoyable as she presses and prods against the slime coated lining of his stomach. He taking a moment to look down at the movements in his distended tum, offering her shape a supportive pat before he'd finish his journey toward and onto the deck of the swiftwind.<br/><br/>It seems he'd made the right call indeed, for the fighting topside had long since ended. There was hardly any sign of the mermaid attackers, and many of his own group where sporting similar mer-shaped bulges within their middles. Jule's would help him onto the deck, and Xarces would grin to the man's comment. "Managed to make a meal out of one of those mermaids I did." he concludes with a light chuckle.  "As for the help, think nothing of it." he adds while offering a firm pat upon Jule's back.<br/><br/>with all the flying, swimming, slashing, and other assorted activities Xarces had just taken part of in such short order, it came to no surprise when his belly emenates a hungry grumble. Already beginning to work to replenish the energy spent, to break down his meal and absorb what useful material her body may offer. Xarces places a hand upon the squirming bulge as he makes his way below deck. Dismissing himself from the others, in order to find a nice place to rest and relax, a place to enjoy the meal within. Alizome would be fine until then...probably.... as after all if he let the mermaid out now, Alizome would still be stuck within a stomach, a stomach that'd be determined to find it's way back under water.... so surely this was the best course of action. At least that's what he tells himself as he settles in below deck, resting and rubbing his hands on his swollen belly, as he enjoys the sensations of his powerful stomach muscles squishing and squeezing in against the body of the elf stuffed mermaid within, rapidly coating her figure in the celestial's powerful digestive fluids.
