Yeah, yeah I know.

[ Things he is not going to do: that. ]

I'm an adult so you don't have to worry.

[ yes you do ]

[karappo]

Oh, well...you know I am going to. It is still my job to worry about you, regardless of how old you get.

[His smile broadens, reaching his eyes as he moves to pull his trident from the sand.]

I will be off the north side of home if you need me for anything, okay?

[shikosuki]

All right. I'll see you later then.

[ He starts swimming away, in the direction of his grotto, but stops for a moment ]

Um, dad?

[karappo]

Mmm? Yes, Choromatsu?

[shikosuki]

Uh... [ shit suddenly he's really embarrassed about this ] If you want, sometime could we um...

[ ...fuck, yeah this is really embarrassing ]

S-Sing together...?

[karappo]

E-eh?

[He pauses, as if he's not sure he heard him right.]

Sing...with me? R-really?

[shikosuki]

Y-Yeah. I-I've been doing that with my friends a lot, you know? [ mostly with Dia ] Unlike the others, they don't say I sound like a dying orca. [ Is that the comment that made him stop singing as a kid even though he's always been drawn to music? Yes, yes it is. THANKS JERKS. ] So I thought... maybe it'd be nice. [ and maybe he's a little nostalgic for those lullabies after all ]

[Poseidon hovers above the sand, and for a long moment he doesn't say anything as his fins beat the water lightly to keep him aloft.

His breath hitches in a clear attempt to not burst into tears in front of his son, and he nods.]

I...I would love to.

[shikosuki]

[ Choromatsu's immediately brightens ]

R-Really?! Okay! I'll look forward to it!

[ And with that done he swims off ]

Later, dad!
