I can't while I'm still bleeding... I'll attract sharks... or dad.
[ well his dad probably can't sense their blood in the water or anything weird like that but when your dad is a god you don't want to put much past him ]
Probably. It'd be a pretty dishonorable thing to do, too.
[His pensive look drops into something like longing before he turns away from the endless darkening water. Maybe Mikoto had been right to tell them all to stay away- it wasn't smiting he should have feared, but something deeper and quieter and, in the end, much more dangerous. He stands, moving over towards the rocks further up the beach, scratching at the places his skin had touched Choromatsu's wet body and the salt soaked netting. It was starting to turn red.]
I'll keep watch until you're ready to go back out. If someone attacked you on our lands it'd be troublesome.
It's my responsibility. This is my family's land- letting someone that's basically royalty die here when I know about it is just as bad as killing you myself.

Last I checked that's never stopped humans before.

[he moves a little closer, curious.]
What are... I mean, I've heard of the fox and wolf tribes, but never fish...
no subject
[ he looks over himself, readjusting what few things he's wearing and checking his cuts over, though he still stays on guard ]
Haven't you ever heard of merfolk before? You know. like mermaids?
no subject
[He had been very 'firmly discouraged' anytime he even tried to read folklore with too much sailing in it. Mermaids were a very very hard no.]
no subject
Even though I'm not supposed to go near humans I'm still taught about them.
no subject
[Clearly it didn't work: not being allowed to know just lured him here eventually anyways.]
no subject
...Though maybe that's lucky for me after all.
no subject
[He crosses his arms and huffs]
You're loose, so if it's that big of an issue you can just go.

Your dad is a shark?
no subject
[ He curls his tail like someone would with their knees, and props his elbows up on it, resting his face in his hands. He sounds exasperated. ]
He's the sea god.
no subject
[He looks up as if he was about to be smited. Smote?]
no subject
Yeah. Poseidon.
[ a beat ]
He's so lame.
no subject
[His expression is... not pained, but a bit pensive. He guesses all dads are lame to their kids. Not that he'd really know personally]
He's not... going to show up and cause a storm or anything, is he?
no subject
He shouldn't have any clue where I am. But that's why I gotta be careful going back home.
...He would if I died though! So you better not eat me!
[ HE'S JUST BEING EXTRA SURE ]
no subject
no subject
E-Eh?! K-Kidnap?!
no subject
It's not much different from being royalty, right? A god could probably pay a huge ransom.
... maybe even lift a curse.
[His tone is thoughtful, and he stares out at the sea, brows drawn]
no subject
Th-That'd be really st-stupid... h-he'd crush anyone that t-tried...

[ he's not really sure what to feel about the... kindness. ]
...Thanks.
no subject
[He huffs, blushing and refusing to look at him]
no subject
Uh... I'm Choromatsu, by the way.
no subject
[He sees that 3 pun]
I'm Takumi.
