[ he goes back to looking around at all of Poseidon's stuff, humming to himself. The melody this time is different from the other song he was teaching Poseidon. ]
[That's a whole lot of things for him to dissect, Choromatsu, but the last question he asks is what really takes the cake. He sputters- not like he wasn't already- his face already turning a comical shade of red as he looks down at a cluster of random bits of gold armor shoved in a corner, tail lashing.]
S-since I...obviously had no option to bear children of my own...I asked another god for their help. ...Goddess.
They granted my request and...gave me the egg that you six hatched from.
[He's never really...thought of it that way before, since they weren't exactly...together, or anything. But he also couldn't have had them without the egg in the first place, so...]
It is very...very complicated...things tend to be when you move from merfolk to gods like myself...and goddesses.
But in true Poseidion fashion, he chooses not to explain that in the hopes that this won't go far enough for him to have to. Except...now that one of his sons knows about this, they will all know.]
I...do not think it is that simple, my son.
[Has he thought of that, though?
...no, he probably hasn't.]
I mean...h- they...they only granted my wish...I sincerely doubt they would feel the same. Granting wishes of both gods and mortals alike is just...what they do.
[...it's weird. Normally he'd be gung ho for trying to get it on with another god, but...something about this doesn't feel...right. Not in a bad way, but more like in a disrespectful way. Or...he's not sure. He's probably overthinking it.
But Choromatsu seems so eager...he probably doesn't know what to think about the idea of having a "Mom" as well as a Dad...]
I...suppose there would be nothing wrong with that. Sometime...
[He knows at least that Megami didn't go anywhere...his island was his home, after all.]
[He laughs a little, though it's just the faintest bit strained.]
All in good time, my son.
I am...sorry I did not tell you before. I never considered it, really...perhaps I thought it not fair to explain another was involved given the fact that you only had me growing up.

...
Just...if you ever wanted space from your brothers...you know...
no subject
...Dad are you lonely?
no subject
...how could I be? I was lonely before you six came along.
no subject
he swims closer ]
...what about when you sleep in here at night?
no subject
Perhaps a bit...but it is not like I haven't slept alone for hundreds of years before.
[He did get used to having them in there, though.]
no subject
Okay, what I'm getting from this is that I need a mom after all. Or a second dad.
[ because damn dad ]
no subject
[You've been called the fuck out, Poseidon.]
I- n-non, I am fine, really! You do not need to worry yourself with such things!
no subject
If you're like this now, what's it gonna be like when one of us moves out, huh?
Or when all of us move out?
no subject
It...it will be the same as it was before...
[........lonely. As if...the children given to him were...
Never there.
That seems to sink in, then, and his fins droop along with his expression dropping.]
no subject
he smiles ]
Soooo, we should work on this now then! Finding you a companion!
[ even though all your luck was shitty before ]
no subject
[He stammers, shaking his head quickly.]
I am not sure this is such a good idea...it has been a very long time, you see...I have focused my attention on you boys since!
no subject
Maybe now that you've been a dad you'll have better luck.
[ what if someone is really into dads Poseidon ]
...Actually speaking of, where'd you get our egg from?
[ it's HUGE ]
no subject
Ah- uh-
[That's a whole lot of things for him to dissect, Choromatsu, but the last question he asks is what really takes the cake.

So. Wait.
Technically what you're saying is...
We do have a mom?!
no subject
No! I mean...w-well......technically?
[He's never really...thought of it that way before, since they weren't exactly...together, or anything. But he also couldn't have had them without the egg in the first place, so...]
It is very...very complicated...things tend to be when you move from merfolk to gods like myself...and goddesses.
no subject
I mean, if you're both gods then it should... be okay?
...Have you even thought of that?
[ he's suddenly super curious about all of this like holy shit ]
no subject

I mean...h- they...they only granted my wish...I sincerely doubt they would feel the same. Granting wishes of both gods and mortals alike is just...what they do.
no subject
Maybe she'd like to hear how we're doing. That'd at least be a conversation starter, wouldn't it?
no subject
But Choromatsu seems so eager...he probably doesn't know what to think about the idea of having a "Mom" as well as a Dad...]
I...suppose there would be nothing wrong with that. Sometime...
[He knows at least that Megami didn't go anywhere...his island was his home, after all.]
no subject
And then he thinks on it himself a little ]
...Can I meet her some day?
no subject
[As weirdly anxious as this whole conversation is making him...there's only one answer he can give to that.]
Of course. If you would like to...you should be allowed to. All of you.
Just...perhaps let me try to get back in touch, first. It has been a few years.
no subject
...Man, there's a lot of things I want to ask her now.
[ like how they made an egg, if they knew there'd be six, etc etc ]
no subject
[He laughs a little, though it's just the faintest bit strained.]
All in good time, my son.
I am...sorry I did not tell you before. I never considered it, really...perhaps I thought it not fair to explain another was involved given the fact that you only had me growing up.
