The merwoman looks pleased when Billie takes the eel from her. She repeats her action a second time before actually putting the eel in her mouth and swallowing. After she does, she continues to watch Billie expectantly, gesturing with an unusual, webbed hand.

Tási opens her mouth after to show that the eel isn't there anymore and pulls her lips over her teeth to conceal them. She gestures with her hand at her mouth and then pulls her hand down along her throat with her palm against her skin before mimicking Billie's gesture of raising her eyebrows.
