After days of travel, Mako finally felt solid ground once more. Having climbed off of Jemoray's shoulder, she starts to run to the entrance of the tavern. "I'll get you a drink soon!" she yelled at the cat lady she climbed off moments ago, before vanishing inside. Jarethnel seems to follow suit, the both of them finding themselves in a tavern bustling with life. Most of the wooden seats were filled, a couple remaining. Conveniently, this included two tall chairs next to the bar.

That may be perfect..." Jarethnel would say in a calm tone while pointing at the chairs. The two would take a seat as they ordered a drink. The wooden mugs were filled to the brim, the drink inside slightly pouring out from the top.

Mako would take a large sip from the drink, attempting to order a third drink while placing a couple of the potions attached to her waist. "Fill your largest cup with whatever brew you might have!" Her wish was quickly granted, as the bartender starts to fill up a cup the size of her head. She'd grab the cup, rushing back outside.

She'd look up at Jemoray, now sat down. "Told you I would get you a drink!" she'd say, as she struggles to hold on to the drink. Jemoray seems to effortlessly keep a hold of the cup, it barely being the size of one of her fingers. She'd quickly drink the entire thing, placing her back against one of the trees. "Thanks, that'll do."

Mako runs back inside, sitting herself back down. Her cup seemed to be filled again, the color of the drink looking a little different from before. "Think our big friend liked the drink." She'd pick up the drink, while leaning back to drink the entire thing at once. It tasted... bitter. A lot different than before. A chill went down her spine, as her previously loosely fitting clothes started to tighten up.

"Oh no, this is bad!" She'd continue growing, her clothes ripping apart in the process. Time keeps ticking, her only growing more rapidly.

In the midst of the chaos, Jarethnel would nervously look over, seeing the shark having grown to multiple times her original size in the small amount of time. "Mako, are you okay!?", he said in a alarmed and bit scared tone
"Does this look okay!?" she'd reply, the space in the tavern quickly narrowing out. Her head slams through the roof of the tavern. She'd grab Jarethnel, placing him on top of her head as the entire tavern shatters into a pile of rubble.

Jemoray, now dwarved by the still growing shark jumps up, surprised at the rubble created by her. "What'd you do!?"
"Someone may have spiked my drink...! At least I didn't crush the town, haha-" she'd reply, a little worried at her response.

Jemoray, with a relief, replies. "Well, at least it wasn't our tavern."
"At least I haven't crushed it yet!" She replies, her body still growing as her tail inches closer to the fountain next to her.
