Remembering that the desired fig tree grows high up, Nikta decides to climb higher.

The mermaids smirked. As soon as one of them pushed her hair back, Dalia covered Henry's eyes with her hands.
- Trahinator, are you sure you're mentally prepared to see a naked...mermaid?

- Hmm, maybe to mark territory and scare away unwanted guests? Honestly, I don't know. But what I do know is that your knowledge in tracking down these demon cultists will be essential to us, so here, - Lin hands the doctor a magic pouch and explains how to use it if necessary; she intends to take one of the remaining pairs for herself later, - once again, thank you for your help, - the girl sincerely bowed to the healer and, if he had nothing more to say to her, went to listen to what Violetta Slater wanted to tell her.

Clearly unhappy with the setback, Henry replied:
-- I don't understand, what are they supposed to be like? It's obvious that Disney was deceiving us with the seashells. Or is there something wrong with their physiology? Do they have Davy Jones' head?
"Oh, these women, they're happy to play all sorts of perverse games, but when it comes to looking at something interesting, they're all against it."
"Henry, are mermaids dangerous? Maybe that's why Dalia is reacting like this?"
"Yeah, of course, that's exactly why."
-- So, tell me your story, where did you come from... -- said the frowning American.

- We came from hot springs.
- Yeah, we were living peacefully there, and then one day we woke up and found ourselves in a well.
- Creepy.
- Yeah, it's creepy. There's little space here, and a stupid talking head.
- You're the stupid one! - a voice came from the well. - Hey! Are there any sane people up there?

-- What, a head? Yes, there are some decent ones! -- Henry shouted at the head. -- How did you end up there?!

- Thank you. - Lin sits down and puts her legs together in a businesslike manner. - Well, tell me.

- I just wanted to get some water! And then I fell!

Henry paused for about a minute.
"My head felt like it was filled with water... Okay, let's assume. Did she fall? Why didn't she drown, and... What?"
The guy looks into the well, expecting to see either Modok or Krang. At the same time, he notices if there's a bucket at the well, and if not, he asks the village elder to bring one.

-- I didn't understand anything, but it's very interesting, -- he finally says. -- I'll get you out now. Okay, where's the down arrow?
"Henry, you need to turn the crank, as far as I know."
"The gate?"
"The lever! You need to turn the lever!"
"Aaaaaaa."
Henry lowers the bucket into the well and grabs the crank.

-- Come on, get in the bucket...
