Even a few feet away and with only a small pool of saltwater, Heine can smell it. His body responds, the eggs eager to be laid. He gets into the tub without much urging. Eichel helps him sit down, careful of the imbalance caused by the new curve of his belly.

Almost before he sits down Heine can feel the eggs move downwards. He makes a low noise and puts his knees as far apart as he can in the tub, lying back in the water instinctively. The ovipositor had done all the work to push the eggs into him, but with the Imperius Curse on his mind and the mind-altering effects of the creature's slick, he stays relaxed. Quiet, he passes a hand over his stomach, feeling out the movement of the first egg right against his entrance from the inside. It takes an extended moment of pushing, but the egg is still malleable, and it comes out with just a little effort and sits at the bottom of the tub.

Eichel watches. At this point it's all he can do. It's not safe to try and extract the eggs by unnatural means, but he can at least try to prevent things from going wrong.
