[That gets a soft chuckle from Poseidon as he continues forward, occasionally reaching out to gently brush away sand from this or that, though he never stops to point anything out necessarily.]
There is that, yes...but you three also have a responsibility to ensure that you are merfolk worth looking up to. Not just by your brothers, but by your people as well.
[He slows to a stop as the cavern gets darker, stopping just in front of a passageway that's actually too narrow for Poseidon himself to enter. It's not meant for him to go inside anyway, and it really only serves as a natural shelf of sorts.
Once Choromatsu swims around Poseidon's side, he'll finally see what he seemed to be wanting to show him all along. Though small by his standards, it will seem large to Choromatsu...large enough for him to hold with both arms if it were intact. It's an egg, an egg that has had the top chipped away, pieces of which still remain scattered all around it. The egg itself sits in very soft bedding that doesn't seem to have been touched for years.]
You may not be my sons by blood...but you are, by your lineage, princes. And when you are old enough, you too will watch over the sea by my side. I am telling you this because, well...you have been taking great strides to further yourself and mature. And though I hate seeing you grow up so quickly...it impresses me all the same. And when the time comes, I think you three will become shining examples of the way I want the ocean to be.
I want you to know how proud of you I am, Choromatsu.
