[Poseidon had been kneeling in front of Megami- and still is- but now it feels like he's sinking into the floor. It's hard to pinpoint what part of this is worse: what Megami is actually saying to him, or the fact that he can't even look him in the eye when he says it.
It...just doesn't add up. Megami has obviously had his island invaded in some way, and whatever happened to him has both hurt and traumatized him, but in no way could Poseidon imagine a scenario that would be so horrendous as to cause him to reject both his partner and children.
That is something that Poseidon simply refuses to believe. He even laughs, shakily, his head jerking as he shakes it a time or two. The light of his trident flickers before coming back to life.]
...No, you...y-you cannot be serious.
[He can't be...right? His sons love him...they'd be devastated to be rejected this way, though nowhere near as heartbroken as Poseidon himself would be, seeing how he's refusing to take what Megami is telling him at face value.
He drops the shell pieces so he can reach his hand out toward Megami, slowly.]
